Portable Classrooms Could Double At HSE

THE INDIANAPOLIS STAR
Fishers -- Hamilton Southeastern Schools chief Brian Smith predicts about 50 portable classrooms will have to be used districtwide if voters turn down a construction referendum in November. That's more than double the number of portable classrooms in use now. Twenty of the 26 portable classrooms the school district owns are in use this year. Smith said portable classrooms cost about $80,000 each, including the price of setting them. The School Board voted earlier this month to hold a public hearing in June on a $62 million construction referendum. The referendum seeks permission to convert Hamilton Southeastern Junior High into a freshman campus for Hamilton Southeastern High students and to have it opened by 2012 to meet student growth. The November referendum also would seek voters' approval to build a new junior high school and construct a new elementary by 2013. Link
