Board previews small boundary tweak near Badger Mountain to move new apartment parcel to Lewis & Clark
Summary
Staff proposed a narrowly targeted boundary adjustment to move a parcel with new apartments (and a motel/RV park) out of Badger Mountain Elementary’s attendance area and into Lewis & Clark’s; immediate effect would touch one third‑grade student who could be grandfathered.
District staff presented a proposed boundary adjustment around Badger Mountain Elementary to capture a new apartment development and a Desert Gold Motel/RV Park and assign that future housing to Lewis & Clark Elementary. Presenter Ken Gazy said the change is small in student impact — staff counted one current third‑grade student in the parcel — and recommended the board post the plan for public review and return with any public feedback at the next meeting.
Ken said the parcels are already under development and moving the boundary now puts the district ahead of growth that could otherwise push Badger Mountain beyond practical capacity (present capacity shown as ~550 vs current enrollment ~625). The board agreed to post the maps on the district website, coordinate communications with the district communications team, and bring the item back for formal consideration after public review.
Ending: Staff will post the proposed boundary maps, allow a period for public comment, and return to the board at the next meeting for further action.
