Jonesboro planning commission approves two-year placement of temporary classroom trailers at Nettleton STEAM campus
Summary
The Metropolitan Area Planning Commission approved a two-year permit for two temporary classroom trailers at Nettleton Public Schools’ STEAM 1 campus to add four classrooms while the district manages space constraints.
The City of Jonesboro Metropolitan Area Planning Commission approved placement of two temporary classroom trailers at Nettleton Public Schools’ STEAM 1 campus, 2219 Thorne Street, to provide four classrooms on a two-year lease.
Commissioners voted to grant the temporary permit during their June 24 meeting after the school’s representatives said the district needs additional classroom space. City planner staff said the city has issued two-year temporary trailer permits in the past and recommended approval as reasonable.
Engineer Carlos Wood and school representative Ron Cooper appeared for the district and described the trailers as a leased solution for the district’s immediate capacity needs. The city planner did not list additional stipulations beyond the standard two-year temporary-trailer precedent.
The commission conducted a motion and second and approved the request by voice vote; the transcript does not record individual mover/second names or a roll-call tally. The permit is limited to two years, consistent with the district’s stated lease term.
The commission did not record additional conditions or a detailed timetable for removal beyond the two-year term discussed at the meeting.
