The Wicomico County Board of Education approved $1,275,298.61 in annual portable classroom leases for the 2024-2025 school year. Although portable classrooms should only be needed here or there, this reveals a much larger problem that they’re not telling the taxpaying citizen: “you’re being exploited.”
Below you can see the transactions at the beginning of the 2024-2025 school year:
In addition, thousands upon thousands of our tax dollars are being put into replacing HVAC systems for these portables that the WCBOE doesn’t even own. They have voted in past meetings to approve such costly replacements to improve someone else’s property.
Why so many portable classrooms?
Our school buildings don’t have the capacity. Our schools have had an influx of nearly 2,500 migrant students, mostly illegals that have been relocated to Wicomico by the Biden Administration. Accounting for approximately 17% of school enrollment, this has over capacitated our schools and stressed our local resources.
For the 2024-2025 school year, there were 2,463 Multilingual Learners (ML) enrolled in Wicomico County Public Schools as of last November. There are probably more today. This number was revealed at the Wicomico County Board of Education Special Meeting/Work Session that was held on November 19, 2024.
They probably just need more supervisors. They are poor stewards of our money with little oversight.
Thank Rex and the rest of you biden voters
