Some Prince William County Schools (PWCS) will add trailers to accommodate growing student needs.
“Growing student enrollment and changing needs continue to outpace the ability to build or expand schools. PWCS uses portable facilities to deal with space needs based on changing needs, student enrollment estimates, and to provide flexibility,” stated a release.
Starting in August, PWCS will be using a total of 205 portable classroom trailers.
“Many schools will have no portable classrooms next year. Portables offer the benefit of easy relocation to temporarily address overcrowding or special space demands until permanent space or other long-term solutions are available,” stated a release.
As part of the shuffle, some trailers will be moved from schools were demand is waning, to schools where they are badly needed, according to a release.
Schools adding one or more portable classroom trailers are:
Kerrydale ES (+1)
Loch Lomond ES (+3)
Neabsco ES (+7)
Penn ES (+1)
Westridge ES (+2)
Yorkshire ES (+2)
Gainesville MS (+2)
Woodbridge MS (+4)
Battlefield HS (+2)
Freedom HS (+2)
Stonewall Jackson HS (+4)
