I attended Randolph Elementary School, on South Quincy Street. My first grade classes were in a trailer in the parking lot; the next year they decided to renovate the school with the then popular “open plan” design. We were bussed to Clay Elementary for the year.
When we came back, most of the walls were gone, and classes took place in open areas.
This did not last long. The teachers started to put portable chalkboards in the openings to close off the rooms, but that didn’t help. Soon, wooden walls started to appear in the openings, and the school started to revert to it’s old self.
