Manchester school directors favor an $8,000 Shelburne mobile classroom as the practical remedy for MES overcrowding, with costs around $10,000 plus $2,000 for transport and hookups. The trailer would house 60 pupils, likely MES kindergarten, moving basement classes upstairs. They did not decide on a special town meeting for approval.

They favored avoiding a Grades 7-12 union while Burr and Burton Seminary remains a factor.
