@JoeStrazzere I would also like to add that she is a white cis woman while I am a BIPOC lesbian and I feel threatened to have her in my space because I have overheard some comments she's made degrading the student LGBTQIA group here on campus

And yes, all the other teachers who have shared "storage" space end up using it for personal office space. I am the only teacher that shares it with non-certified staff. As non-certified staff, the ISS coach also does NOT get a planning period. The fact that she makes the trek from another building and camps out next to my room for her 75+ minute planning period along with her daughter and now her daughter's friend while she takes her time microwaving multiple hot pockets during my lunch break… What was I thinking? Of course I am in the wrong here! 🙄

Flats-yes, that would be much cooler by far! 😜

Joe-Please read all past comments as these have already been addressed. To reiterate...this is the wife of the ISS coach next door to my room who already has her own space in another building. Not the 6x 10 former storage space attached to my classroom. So you think I should just walk to the next building over and go into the storage room attached to her classroom during my planning period and hang out? And better yet, bring my 10th grade child and her friend to go hang out there with me as well? Unreal. I can only guess that you would have serious issues with that.

So you'd be ok with the situation I described?

The space in question is not accessed any other way than from my classroom or the ISS room. I already have security concerns about ISS students having access to the space where I keep my purse and other belongings, I'm thinking about requesting maintenance to provide a locking door knob.

Well right now as I type, it's my lunch break and her daughter is in there with one of her friends, so yes, students. I had to wait 7 minutes for the mom/wife to microwave 4 hot pockets with my microwave before I could heat my lunch. I guess I'm just being unreasonably petty about everything.

Tymoteusz, I made it clear in my initial post that this room was about 6 x 10 and that the ISS coordinator's wife was allowing her high school daughter to come in there and hang out as well. On Friday her daughter napped in there until it was time for her next class. I don't know the specifics as I was not told anything about why her daughter was in there. No private office in this particular space is designated as "storage", not a dedicated office. It was a huge mess before I cleaned it out.

The ISS coach isn't the one using it. It's his WIFE ...who has her own area in a separate building. She also uses my microwave, fridge, paper products, and allows students to come in there as well.

Well, when I was moved into this new room I was told by one of our VPs that I could utilize the space however I wanted. Even if the ISS coordinator was told the same thing (which I highly doubt), do you think that that would extend to his wife who has her classroom in a separate building altogether? Does them being married entitle her to use this area as her personal lounge for 75+ minutes every day? Not only is it aggravating, she has loud conversations that can be heard in my classroom while my students are working. Let me clarify… We are talking about his wife, not the ISS coach.
