2022-23 school year. For your information, included in this data is the number of approved lots and multi-family units

West Ada School District supports economic growth. Based on future enrollment forecasts,the schools will be operating at or
near full capacity. 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 or plant facilities levy 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, �A
Marci Horner
Planning and Development Administrator
