Dear Meridian City Planners:
West Ada School District has experienced significant and sustained growth in student enrollment during the last ten
years. Based on current enrollment data specific to the area surrounding this proposed development, we estimate a
development consisting of 247 single-family units and 0 multi-family units could house approximately 148 school aged
children. (The development area encompasses parcels zoned within both the West Ada School District and the
Kuna School District.Any estimations regarding student population generated for the West Ada School District are
based on the full unit count projected for the development.). Approval of this application will affect enrollments at
the following schools in West Ada School District.
Enrollment Capacity
Mary McPherson 497 675
Victory Middle School 1070 1000
Mountain View High School 2426 2175
West Ada School District supports economic growth; however,growth fosters the need for additional school capacity.
Future developments will continue to have an impact on the district's capacity. Should a school exceed capacity,to meet
the need for additional school capacity in this area one or more of the following may need to be implemented:
• Transporting students to an alternate school with available classrooms.
• Attendance area adjustments if there is availability in a nearby school.
• Passage of a bond to build new schools to fit the enrollment needs.
• Portable classrooms placed on the property.
West Ada School District requests developers' consideration for providing safe walkways, bike paths, and pedestrian
access for our students to schools and community resources.
Sincerely,
Jonathan Gillen
Chief Financial Officer
