Dear Planners:
Joint School District No. 2 (dba West Ada School District) has experienced significant and sustained growth in student
enrollment during the last ten years. Applying our Student Generation Rate (.7 per SF dwelling unit, .1 per MF dwelling
unit),to the Verona Subdivision we predict these homes, when completed, could house 11 school aged children.

Approval of this development could affect enrollments at the following schools in West Ada District:
West Ada School District supports economic growth.To meet the need for additional school capacity, West Ada School
District will accept the donation of land appropriate for a school site. Passage of a bond issue will be required prior to
the commencement of new school construction.
Residents cannot be assured of attending the neighborhood school(s) as it may be necessary to bus students to available
classrooms across the district. The safety of our students is our first and foremost priority. With this in mind, we ask
that you encourage the developer to provide safe walkways, bike baths and pedestrian access for our students. School
capacity and transportation is addressed in Idaho Code 67-6508-future development will continue to have an impact on
the district's capacity.
Sincerely,
V&( -
