Freshman Kaydence Bennett sits quietly in her new workspace. Initially the pillars in the middle of the room presented a challenge, but teachers found ways to utilize the space to fit the student’s needs. “That pilar became a good background for [Bennett] to protect her from sound coming from the back,” SpEd teacher Marie Wheeler said.

Junior Dorian Horton eats lunch at a new desk. SpEd teacher Marie Wheeler described how teachers had to be creative in making the space comfortable for students. “It was a struggle at first but it is definitely [an improvement],” Wheeler said.

Freshman Emma Joseph writes on a new desk. Teachers feel the transition in space has been positive but challenging. “The space was not designed to be a special education classroom.” SpEd teacher Marie Wheeler said. “We had to be super creative with where we were setting up work stations.”
