Yes - it has changed with each new administrator, as well as building

7-8 moved into the high school for 2 years and I had them on rotation, we
built a
new MS and I am now an elective

Not this year, but I was also librarian for the primary building for 4
years, and may
be again next year

I am required to help teach what will be assessed since funding depends upon
test scores
