Dear Planners:
The Meridian School District has experienced phenomenal student growth the last ten
years. The high schools, middle schools, and elementary schools throughout the district
are operating over capacity.
Approval of the Hendrickson Subdivision will have a impact on school enrollments at
Pepper Ridge Elementary. Lake Hazel Middle and Mountain View High School.
We can predict that these homes, when completed, will house five (5) elementary aged
children, five (5) middle school aged children, and four (4) senior high aged students.
Additional students will further compound the current overcrowded situation. Residents
cannot be assured of attending the neighborhood school, as it may be necessary to bus
students to other schools across the district.

School capacity is addressed in Idaho Code 67-6508. The Meridian School District is
currently operating beyond capacity. Future development will continue to have an impact
on the district's capacity. If you have any questions, please contact me at 855-4500.
Sincerely,
~~
Building & Construction Manager
