This school year at Douglass Academy, the temperature has been very cold in one portion of the school. It has been so cold that Douglass English teacher Nathan Tedford hasn’t been able to teach inside his classroom in over a month.
“Well, it’s taking me away from the resources that are in my classroom because of how cold it is,” said Tedford.
“Sometimes it’s so cold that I can barely concentrate,” said Douglass junior Evan Rogers. “Switching classrooms can cause distractions.”
With the building being so cold, Tedford has to constantly jump from room to room every day. He said that he hopes that the problem will be fixed for the student’s sake.
Douglass Spanish teacher Colleen Danel is also experiencing these problems in her classroom. Danel has to be in a different classroom every day.
“There’s no heat in my classroom, and there’s no money in the budget to fix it,” said Danel. “It’s different to teach without knowing what room I will be in because of how cold it is.”
Danel said that the engineer Benjamin Gibson is trying his hardest to fix the problems.
“Well, the problem started when we had the cold weather two weeks ago [early November], and it froze the heating system,” said Gibson.
“As soon as we get the money, we will repair it,” said Gibson.
