there was “no other viable way to attack the space problem” at the high school before school starts in August, 1979.
Masterson objected to the trailers, describing them as ”$48,000 worth of storage space.” The high school has gotten by this far without modular units, he said, suggesting that the money be spent for permanent construction instead.
“Earlier in the budget, we approved two additional teachers at the high school,” recalled chairman Beverly Massie. “Where are we going to put them?” she asked Masterson.
“I don’t know. I didn’t vote for them,” he answered.
According to Bloomer, trailers last from eight to ten years and can be sold or used as storage space when no longer needed, depending on which alternative is most economically feasible.
He acknowledged that the high school may be able to get by with one double trailer but added that the board would have to decide what it wanted to do without. “You can omit the english class and face the ramifications there or you can omit the learning disabilities class and face the remifications there or you can keep the building trades units in the storage room and face the ramifications there,” he said.
Bloomer added that he’d recommended three single units instead of one double and one single because he felt singles had greater resale potential.
“It’s a shame we can’t utilize the money in permanent classroom space, commented Alan Stokes. "There’s bound to be some alternative.”
Bloomer replied that he doubted if construction of three classrooms could be approved by the state department and finished by August, 1980.
