West Ada School District supports economic growth. Assuming the area's student generation rates remain the same and
the developments build out as projected,the capacity of the schools listed above should have adequate space to
maintain a high level of education for attending students. Please encourage the developer to provide safe walkways,
bike paths and pedestrian access for our students. Future developments will continue to have an impact on the district's
capacity.
Sincerely,
Marci Horner
Planning and Development Administrator
