Perhaps.
Let's look at M. R. Reiter itself, where two trailers have been in use for about seven years now. In the picture below, those are the two white rectangles on the Hillcrest Avenue side of the school.
I'm sure one of our very knowledgeable readers has the details, but they were purchased as emergency housing several years ago. They were purchased at a deep, deep discount because they had already reached the end of their expected useful life.
They stand there still, today. Once the new school was built, they would no longer be needed, but, things change...
Here's a shot of Grandview as it stands today.
There's a lot of playground area that can be used, isn't there?
As an artist's rendition, let's add the eight trailers that would be needed. These "temporary classroom units", or whatever the politically correct euphemism is, are double wides, so for comparison purposes, I've taken a standard blue trailer and a standard white trailer at the same scale to indicate "one" classroom unit, and presto! Grandview with eight trailers.
Pretty, isn't it?
There are plenty of ways to configure the actual placement of the trailers, but consider this: The "where" of placement is less important than the "how long." We can all agree this is an emergency situation requiring flexibility on all sides. If this was really going to be temporary until a permanent solution was available, all would probably be well.
These trailers should not be installed without a long-term viable community-accepted plan in place.
Accepting trailers without assessing the longer term implications does not place the town's future, or the welfare of the students, as a high priority core concern.
