For the first time in eight years, St. Johns County will not open a new school. In the meantime, St. Augustine High School and Allen Nease High School will have portable classrooms on-site to ease the overcrowding.

Relocatable classrooms are buildings that can be moved.
This year, the school district will have 136 relocatable classrooms. St. Johns has both concrete and metal relocatable buildings, Toner said.

Most are used as regular classroom space, but others are used for special education resource rooms. Earlier this week, portable classrooms were an issue for U.S. Secretary of Education Richard W. Riley.
