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 Pinebridge Subdivision will have a significant impact on school
enrollments at River Vallev/Spaldino Elementary School. Lewis & Clark Middle
School and Meridian Hioh School.
We can predict that these homes, when completed, will house nineteen (19)
elementary aged children, fifteen (15) middle school aged children, and eleven
(11) 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
,.------------acrothe----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,
