More portables added for new school year
KAMLOOPS — They provide a temporary learning environment for students, where there is a shortage in classroom space.
Portables are becoming a common sight on school properties all across the province, and the Kamloops-Thompson School District is no different. With significant growth in some city neighbourhoods – and last year’s court ruling on class size and composition – School District 73 has seen a ‘spike’ in student population. The increased number of students is putting pressure on schools, and many have been forced to install portable classrooms to accommodate the changes.
A new school year, a new crop of classmates, and the hustle and bustle of more than 14,000 students across school district 73. But for many, heading back to the classroom, means back to portables.
