Dear Planners:
West Ada School District has experienced sustained growth in student enrollment during the last ten years. Based on current
enrollment data specific to new development (within the last 5 years) in proximity to this proposed development,we estimate
this development consisting of 132 multi-family units could house approximately 25 school aged children.Approval of this
application will affect enrollments at the following schools in West Ada School District based on attendance areas for the
2022-23 school year. For your information, included in this data is the number of approved lots and multi-family units
approved by this and other agencies.

West Ada School District supports economic growth. Based on future enrollment forecasts,the capacity of the high school is
projected to be operating above building capacity and full utilization of educational spaces upon the completion of the
previously approved lots. Future developments will continue to have an impact on the district's capacity.
To meet the need for additional school capacity in this area one or more of the following may need to be accomplished:
• Transporting students to an alternate school with available classrooms.
• Attendance area adjustments if there is availability in a nearby school.
• Portable classrooms placed on the property.
• Passage of a bond to build new schools to fit the enrollment needs.
Please encourage the developer to provide safe walkways, bike paths and pedestrian access for our students.
Sincerely,
Marci Horner
Planning and Development Administrator
