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 Meridian Ellis Addition will have an impact on school enrollments
at Meridian Elementary School, Meridian Middle School and Meridian High
School.
We can predict that these homes, when completed, will house one (1)
elementary aged child, one (1) middle school aged child, and one (1) senior high
aged student. 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 development will continue
to have an impact on the district's capacity. If you have any questions, please
contact me at 350-5016.
Sincere
Wendel Bigh m
Building & Construction Manager
