EUCOM to supply trailers for Patch High

STUTTGART, Germany — Gen. John Craddock said he would fund construction of temporary classrooms to accommodate a projected enrollment jump next year at Patch High School here.

The decision means school and garrison officials will no longer have to ponder the unappealing option of relocating fifth-graders from one elementary school to another to make way for a spillover from the high school.

Craddock, who commands U.S. European Command, told parents that Patch Elementary fifth-graders will stay put next school year.

"(Moving fifth-graders) is creating a problem bigger than the one it solves," said Craddock, during a EUCOM town hall meeting. "I think the solution here is to put temporary classrooms at the high school. We will proceed that way."

With that, problem solved.
