Overcrowding
Student enrollment at Bonneville and Hillcrest high schools exceeds the designed building capacities, putting the safety and education of our students at risk.
District 93 is one of the largest and fastest growing school districts in the state of Idaho. This school year, more than 800 new students enrolled in our schools, making district 93 the fifth largest in Idaho.
Our high schools have 24 classrooms in 12 temporary trailers that do not provide a long-term solution for continuing growth.
State safety inspectors at the high schools have identified overcrowding as a primary concern. Congestion in high traffic areas including hallways, stairwells, restrooms, and parking lots has heightened concern for student safety and led to an increased number of disciplinary incidents.
"Adding classrooms without expanding the core capacity of the schools would result in more severe crowding, creating greater concerns for students' safety."
