District proposes 24 temporary classrooms for Pleasant Lea renovations

What happened

The Finance Committee agenda proposes leasing 12 mobile classroom buildings—24 classrooms total—for renovation work at Pleasant Lea Middle School and Pleasant Lea Elementary. The units would be in place for 16 months and cost $804,780, funded through the 2025 Bond projects.

Why it matters to families

The temporary classrooms would accommodate students displaced during renovations at both campuses, and the planned 16-month lease and six-figure cost indicate a substantial construction-period arrangement. This is a committee proposal, not a completed approval.

The evidence

The Oct. 12, 2026 Finance Committee agenda says the 2025 Bond Issue projects require classrooms to be displaced for renovation; it specifies 16 classrooms (eight buildings) at Pleasant Lea Middle School and eight classrooms (four buildings) at Pleasant Lea Elementary for 16 months. It identifies Wilscot as the lowest-price bidder and gives a total expenditure of $804,780, budgeted in the 2025 Bond projects.
