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 Estancia Subdivision will have an impact on school enrollments at Lake
Hazel Elementary.. Lake Hazel Middle"t and Mountain View High School.
We can predict that these homes, when completed, will house thirty (30) elementary aged
children, twenty-eight (28) middle school aged children, and twenty-three (23) 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 de~lelopment will continue to have an impact
on the district's capacity. If you have any questions, please contact me at 855-4500.
Sincerely,
Wendel Bigham
Building & Construction Manager
