The construction of the modular and the Ossian Hall remodeling has caused a lot of issues for faculty, staff and students in the beginning of this year. Due to the modular’s placement, the faculty and staff parking lot has lost about 100 spaces prompting the faculty to parallel park along Four Year Run. The faculty is currently using the student parking whcih means students will not be able to park until Ossian Park is finished; however, they are still allowed to apply.

The price of a parking space is $200, and the students who wish to purchase and save a spot for the future have to turn in the application now, without the money. The spaces will not be available to them until November. Students have to either ride the bus or have their parents drop them off at school as a result of the parking issue this also adds on to the traffic issue that has long been a problem here at AHS.

Lack of parking spaces also causes issues with participating in club activities. Students cannot easily participate in after school activities because they would need to find a ride.

It seems unfair to the students who have applied for ten months, but in actuality they’re only getting eight months. The school should give a discounted price for the months lost as a way of compensation.
