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 Shavlee Estates Subdivision will have an impact on school
enrollments at Meridian Elementary School. Meridian Middle School and
Meridian Hiqh School.
We can predict that these homes, when completed, will house two (2)
elementary aged children, one (1) middle school aged children, and one (1)
senior high aged students. Additional students will further compound the current
overcrowded situation. Residents cannot be assured of attending the
_,_neiQ~borhgod school, as_!! may b~~_~cessary t~ bl!~~!:!,~~n!s _~~,~ther 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.
