We are calling on the Tuscaloosa County Board of Education and district leadership to address the long term use of portable classrooms at our school, Walker Elementary. 

Portable classrooms have been used for decades as regular instructional spaces, not as temporary overflow solutions. While they once served an emergency purpose, their continued use highlights a long standing need for permanent facility improvements. 

Their extended use raises concerns about space limitations, learning conditions and the long term planning of school facilities. 

We believe student deserve permanent and fully equipped classrooms that support high quality education. 

It is time to move beyond temporary solutions. We urge the district to commit to a clear plan for replacing long term portables with permanent school facilities. Our children deserve better.
