LESD believes this school will be at capacity within two years. <br /> LESD plans to construct and operate two new K-8 schools, one each in Neighborhoods E <br /> and G in the Specific Plan 1 area, each with a capacity for 850 students. The new school in <br /> Neighborhood E is,anticipated to be operating in 2006. Until this K-8 school is constructed, <br /> students from the proposed project would be bussed (or driven) to the operating K-8 schools <br /> in the Specific Plan 1 area(EDAW, 2005b). <br /> n <br /> A new high school (to be named Mountain House High School) would be constructed at the <br /> southeast corner of Central Parkway and Mascot Boulevard as required by the MHMP. <br /> Mountain House High School will have an ultimate'capacity for 2,400 students and will be <br /> built in phases to accommodate growing student population from the ongoing residential <br /> development at the Mountain House Community,including the proposed project. The first <br /> phase of Mountain House High School is planned to accommodate 650 students. The Tracy <br /> Unified School District(TUSD)would staff and operate the high school and will determine <br /> when the school will be constructed. <br /> Until Mountain House High School is built and operating, highschool students residing in <br /> the Mountain House Community would be bussed(or driven) to either West High School or <br /> 1 Tracy High School located in Tracy. However, these two high schools are currently over <br /> capacity and should not accept additional students. TUSD has acknowledged this problem <br /> and plans to use additional portable buildings as classrooms on an interim basis until <br /> Mountain House High School opens. TUSD would determine the location of temporary <br /> facilities as the need arises or in the event that construction of Mountain House High School " <br /> is delayed(EDAW, 2005b). <br /> 4-66 <br /> - M <br /> i <br />
