6. Mobile Units How many mobile units do we have now?
Six currently at the high school. Adding an additional 2 this summer. When school opens next year we will have 8 total.
What is the cost of purchasing a mobile unit? What are the additional operational and other costs each year? 
We do not purchase mobile units. We rent mobile units. The current rental agreement is 36 months.
Currently it costs the division approximately $20,000 to have a mobile unit installed. In addition to the installation we assume the cost of installing the internet, phone service and electrical service. We also provide other installations that support the classes being outside of the main building. This includes securing the entrance/and exit door to the high school and installing fencing around the buildings for safety.
Installation: $20,000 per unit
Fencing $
Furniture: $ per unit
Internet/Intercom $ per unit
Security: $
Monthly rent per unit: $ per unit

7. Mobile Units How many mobile units can be supported at the HHS site?
We could continue to install mobile units at the current location at the high school. With the addition of the 2 mobile units this year, we will lose approximately 60 total parking spaces. The addition of more mobile units in the parking lot not only decreases the parking capability of the lot but also has a great impact on the staging of the parent/student drop off loop which impacts the traffic flow within the parking lot. This also compromises the safety of the campus and the students within the mobile units.
Classes are in those mobile units all day. It does not add to the capacity of the building but adds classroom space needed to serve the current enrollment.
At what point will restroom facilities need to be located near the mobile units? What are the additional costs associated with this?
To utilize the restrooms in the building, the mobile units have to be located within a certain distance. We have the capacity in the main building but the distance is the issue. If we continue to add units behind the current units additional restrooms will need to be secured. The easiest solution would to rent a restroom mobile unit which would be similar in price to a standard unit but would also need to be serviced daily.
