Budget, Facilities, and Audit CommitteeApril 9, 2015
What Exactly is a Portable Classroom?
Primarily Designed for Temporary Uses
Ability to be Relocated When Needed = Flexible Capacity
Typically Supported by a Wood Base and Raised From the Ground with Ramps
Functional, but not Necessarily Aesthetically Pleasing
Pre-Designed, Pre-Engineered Structures with Standard Sizes, Constructed Off-Site in Manufacturing Plants
Enables Flexible Installation Schedules
Costs are Significantly Lower than Permanent Structures
Strategic Portable Classroom Use
Classroom Capacity of Any Kind is an Important Commodity
Existing Portable Classroom Capacity Can Serve Multiple Functions, Provide Quick Solutions and Achieve GoalsChanges in EnrollmentCreation or Expansion of New Programs and Schools Meet Proposition 39 Obligations Community/Joint Use/Parent Centers/Health Clinics Enrichment Activities Unexpected Out-of-Service Buildings
However a Quick Solution Must be Well Thought Out and Consider Playground Space Parking Availability Supervision Challenges Age and Condition of a Portable Classroom Building Safety

Requires that the Governing Board of a School District Adopt a Resolution by October 30, 2015, Certifying that as of September 30, 2015, each Relocatable Building of this Type is no Longer Being Used as a School Building
Focus on Portables: Removal of DOH Portables Opportunity to Further Reduce Reliance on Portable Classrooms
In 2003, the District Had 515 DOH Portable Classrooms 350 Have Been Removed 107 More Will be Removed Prior to September 2015 Based on Enrollment Demands, the Remaining 58 DOH Classrooms are
Anticipated to Require Replacement of Capacity Site Analysis/Due Diligence Activities Currently Underway .
Replacement of Buildings Triggers Code Compliance Upgrades and Infrastructure Upgrade Considerations Staff will Present Proposed Project Definitions Prior to September 30
To Properly Site the New Classrooms, Correct Site Inefficiencies, or Achieve Economies of Scale, Staff May Also Propose Additional Replacements in Conjunction with the DOH Replacements Removal/Replacement Will Occur Over the Next Several Years
88% of DOH Portable Classrooms Will Be Removed By September 30, 2015 By September 30, 2015, the District will be in Compliance with Education Code
