Trailers for 2016-17 School year

Posted on March 22, 2016 by | 15 comments

In March, the DeKalb Board of Education approved $2.5 million for the purchase of trailers. The Cross Keys redistricting plan will result in a net reduction of approximately 15 trailer classrooms in the Cross Keys Cluster.
Modular and Portable Classroom Deployment Plan
This “Modular and Portable Classroom Deployment Plan” is for the 2016-17 School Year and is subject to change based upon feedback from the Allotments Department, Principals and Regional Superintendents.
Trailer Types:

  • Singles – Single classroom units approximately 14’ x 45’ which are most commonly used throughout the District.
  • Quads – Quads contain four individual classrooms and a set of Boys/Girls Restrooms. These units are approximately 66’ x 66’ and are primarily used at middle and high schools.
  • Restroom Unit – A standalone set of a set of Boys/Girls Restroom used in conjunction with single classroom units.

Trailers Removed
(19 singles) from the following locations:

Region School Trailers Total
1 Cary Reynolds ES remove 5 singles (25 to 20) *
1 Dresden ES remove 6 singles (26 to 20) *
3 Dunaire ES remove 3 singles (12 to 9)
1 Montclair ES remove 4 singles (18 to 14) *
2 Sagamore Hills ES remove 1 single (6 to 5)

*Note: These schools were included in the Cross Keys Redistricting Plan. Staff originally estimated the possible reduction of approximately 30 modular/portable classroom units. This summer, staff will remove 15 units from these three schools, according to the administration, due to the public input regarding families who may move to alternative housing locations in order to remain within their current school’s attendance area in lieu of being redistricted.
