Center Stairs Closed to Help Congestion
By Shelbie Miller and Ana Vasquez
At the beginning of the school year, EMS shut down the middle stairway. According to Mrs. Dorian it was shut down because of how congested it got, which then caused people to be tardy to class.
"We had complaints about students getting pushed and falling down so we closed the middle stairway, and students would be forced to use the side stairs and release the congestion," stated Mrs. Dorian.
Some of the 7th and 8th graders are upset that it closed. An 8th grader, Jailene Varela-Garcia, expressed how she felt about the closing. "I'm upset that they closed them. It was the easiest way to class and ever since, I have been late,” said Jailene Varela-Garcia.
Angie Diaz also stated that it was her direct and easiest route to class. She originally thought the stairway closed because something had happened but then she found out.
Mrs. Dorian declared that it is very unlikely that they will reopen the stairway in the future. They don't want to open it and have the issues start back up again.
