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 Canterbury Commons Subdivision will have a significant impact
on school enrollments at Peregrine Elementary School, Meridian Middle School
and Meridian High School.
We can predict that these homes, when completed, will house fifty eight (58)
elementary aged students, fifty four (54) middle school aged students, and forty
two (42) 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 development will continue
to have an impact on the district's capacity. If you have any questions, please
contact me at 350-5016.
Sincerely,
~~U
Wendel Bigham
Building & Construction Manager
