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 Meadowlake Villaae North will have an impact on school
enrollments at Spaldina Elementarv School. Lewis & Clark Middle School and
Mountain View High School.
..~~-
We can predict that these homes, when completed, will house fourteen (14)
elementary aged children, sixteen (16) middle school aged children, and fifteen
(15) 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

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, a.
