Dear Planners:

City Clerk Office
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 Castle Rock Subdivision will have a v r /significant impact on
school enrollments at Lake Hazel Elementary School, Lake Hazel Middle School
and Mountain View High School.
We can predict that these homes, when completed, will house two hundred fifty
eight (258) elementary aged students, two hundred thirty (230) middle school
aged students, and one hundred ninety (190) 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,
Wendel Big m
Building & Construction Manager
