School capacity and enrollment impacts of west-side growth
Summary
Neighbors argued Sagebrush and Highland elementaries are already at capacity and asked who plans for the new students. Staff said the school district is notified during pre-application review but rarely responds, and enrollment district-wide is reportedly down due to homeschooling and charter schools.

Impact analysis
A future elementary school would be a major school district expense, with a ten-acre site already reserved.
New families get nearby schools if capacity is addressed; the district gains enrollment data from engagement.
Existing families at packed Sagebrush and Highland could see more crowding or longer bus rides.
