It's been brought to my attention this week that when I am not here, there should not be any students STAYING in the MRC without a teacher present. They may run in and out for lunch passes (provided a teachers will be there during lunch) and to pick up printing, check out/in a book, and to print something off quickly between classes. However, no oneis to stay from gym or to take test, research, etc. without a teacher present.
