Summary

District staff estimate the Lakewood Town Center Alliance apartments (309 units) could yield about 37 elementary, 17 middle and 24 high‑school students; staff said the board may change attendance boundaries under procedure 31.30 P1 without a public hearing because no students currently live there and will bring a proposal aligned with the June budget calendar.

Rick Ring, the district’s executive director for capital projects and district operations, briefed the board on the Lakewood Town Center Alliance apartment development and several upcoming capital items. Ring said the complex will span eight buildings and 309 units, with occupancy expected in August and September 2026. Using a Davis demographics yield and historical data, staff estimate roughly 37 elementary, 17 middle and 24 high school students at build‑out.

Ring said the district is evaluating attendance‑area adjustments that could assign the new complex to Lakeview, Park Lodge or nearby schools. He noted that, under procedure 31.30 P1, boundary changes that do not affect current enrolled students may be presented to the board for approval without a public hearing because no students currently reside in the shopping‑center site.

Board members asked about split middle‑school boundaries, bus routing and safety. Ring said the district uses corridor busing (buses stop on Main Street rather than entering complexes), and that staff have examined safety and routing. He said a proposal will likely align with a June board meeting and budget adoption timeline.

Ring also updated the board on three capital/operational topics that may appear on a future agenda: replacement of obsolete theater lighting at Clover Park High School (estimated $400,000; capital projects fund), exterior repairs and masonry at Park Lodge (bids returned below estimate, possibly below the threshold to require board approval), and the Sodexo nutrition services contract renewal (entered in 2023 with up to four renewal periods; currently under legal review and OSPI approval).
