The Palm Beach County School District forecasts student enrollment to increase by 18,000 students by Fiscal Year 2006-07. The district plans over the next five years to construct 21 new schools, to modernize 35 existing facilities, and to use relocatable classrooms during construction.
In response to a legislative request, OPPAGA examined the planned purchase of concrete relocatable classrooms. Concrete units are more expensive than models with metal stud walls. Both types meet state building code standards.
