Schools bursting at the seams AH: Until new facilities are built, district to rely heavily on mobile classrooms.
Byline: SEANNA ADCOX
Ask Mount Pleasant Academy Principal Jane Davis when mobile classrooms began dotting her 5-acre campus, and she'll shrug.
"The trailers have been here since way before I got here," said Davis, now in her 18th year at the elementary school.
The oldest mobile classroom is marked with an "18," meaning it was the 18th mobile bought by Charleston County School District. Davis thinks it's 30 years old. Mobile 276 is among the "newer ones" bought after Hurricane Hugo, which blew several of the trailers out to sea in 1989, she said.
The campus backs up to marsh, making moisture and mildew a problem. Wooden steps to the classrooms have rotted.
Second-grade teacher Sue Hopkins said some kind of unidentifiable "black stuff" has decorated her mobile's ceiling. But teaching in "Fort Hopkins," her classroom for more than a decade, is not all bad, she said. "It's nice and quiet."
