Why not let middle school teams use the new gym?

I attended the 8th grade volleyball game last Monday in the High School Gymnasium and brought a friend that has to use a knee scooter due to a leg injury and she had to go up and down the steps on her bottom to access the bleacher section on the stage due to no handicap access.

I was unable to bring my wheelchair bound mother to the game due to no handicap access.

Prior to the game starting we did a mini tour of the middle school and saw the new middle school gymnasium sitting empty. This brought up the question of why the 8th grade VB game against Decorah wasn’t being played in the new gym?

We should be using the new gymnasium to its fullest potential. It is a beautiful gym, we should be proud of it.

Why are the middle school students not having their events there? The rumor is that the high school will be using the new gymnasium for their events and the middle school will be playing in the high school gym. If that is true….Why?

Was that the intent for this new middle school gym? If so I think there are many parents that were not aware of this.
