For sale: Three Manteca Unified School District portable buildings.

One of the 30-by 32-foot units was once used for storing industrial

technology for the district.

The other two of similar size are at Komure School in Weston

Ranch.

But at Tuesday's school board meeting, Assistant Superintendent of

Business Services Dodge said both portables no longer have

the seal of approval from the Department of State Architect office

because of mold.

" There's no cement floors (on either structure), " he said. " Even

though they were treated for mold the problem continued. "

As for cost?

" We sold one for $76 the last time, " acting Superintendent

Messer said.

Trustees directed district officials to sell or dispose the three

portable units, voting 6-1.

Board member Medeiros, who provided the lone " no " vote,

favored the plan of just getting rid of the buildings, believing

that no buyer would even consider purchasing a portable with an

ongoing health concern.

" I'm in favor of just disposing them, " he said.

Added Dodge: " They're up for sale. And if there's no buyer, we will

go ahead and dispose (the portables).

Messer, meanwhile, said ridding the district of the mold-infested

buildings will clear a path for future projects at those sites.

This is disgraceful that they are not just disposing of them.
