The Belgrade School Board on Monday passed a formal resolution to open its third elementary school in the fall, mere minutes after reviewing recommendations for attendance boundaries that will change when the new Story Creek Elementary opens its doors in August. Superintendent Godfrey Saunders shared two maps showing possible attendance boundaries for Story Creek and the districtâs other elementary schools, Saddle Peak and Ridge View. The two recommendations were prepared by a committee that has spent months evaluating a number of factors to âkeep things as equitable as possible for all the elementary schools,â Saunders said. Among the elements the committee considered were trends in community growth, including the population generated by the Prescott Ranch subdivision being built near the new school; keeping neighborhoods together, so that students who live near one another will attend the same schools; avoiding the creation of âattendance islandsâ; and student demographics with regard to free and reduced lunch.
