July 31 -- The demolition of the portable classrooms at the Eastport Elementary School began in late July. For more than 30 years, three portable buildings, referred to as “annexes” by the students and staffers, stood on the Eastport Elementary School grounds. They were supposed to be a temporary fix for overcrowding when they were installed, but students continued to file in and out of the classrooms for the next three-plus decades until this past spring, when a second permanent building was finally constructed just a few hundred feet to the east. That building—the $26 million Tuttle Avenue Schoolwas opened to students earlier this year.
