Since we last updated, the principal has made more threats about jobs of staff at City, but that's pretty much a regular thing so there is not much new to report. More surprisingly, he has been seen roaming the building. He was seen on the third floor for the first time in months, and likewise was on the second floor during senior prank day.

It's not surprising that senior prank day was so volatile this year. Students had gotten used to the fact that there is no discipline in the school over the last few months, and it erupted, unsurprisingly, on senior prank day. Mr. Invisible needs to be more visible for this sort of thing not to happen. Kids and teachers both know that he's rarely around and, when he is, he's holed up in his office.

What's become of the school in the last few months is pretty sad:

1. Loud, unruly, cursing groups in the hallways, particularly the back hallways on the 2nd and 3rd floor, several times throughout the day.

2. Students' use of the parking lot. Mr. Invisible's response? Teachers need to get to school on time. It doesn't matter that students are parking there at 7:15 or 7:30 am, or that they simply don't care that they're taking a student spot. S imple mirror hanging system would cure this. We'll see if it's corrected next year.

3. Poorly run assemblies.

4. The building is dirty, dirty, dirty.

5. Rumor has it that the school is faced with losing 9 teaching spots next year, and, while previous principals have fought North Avenue on this, it doesn't appear that Mr. Invisible is. Class size will increase dramatically next year.

6. A colosolly mismanaged fire in the building.
