'EDAW,2005 a. LESD is currently operating the Wicklund Elementary School that has an available capacity for.216 additional students. LESD believes this school will be at capacity within two years. LESD plans to construct and operate two new K--8 schools, one each in Neighborhoods E and G in the Specific Plan I area, each with a capacity for 850 students. The new school in Neighborhood E is anticipated to be operating in 2006. Until this K-8 school is constructed, students from the proposed project would be bussed (or drivers) to the operating K-8 schools in the Specific Plan I area(EDAW, 2005b). r A new high school (to be named Mountain House High School) would be constructed at the southeast corner of Central Parkway and Mascot Boulevard as'required by the MHMP. Mountain House High School will have an ultimate capacity for 2,400 students and will be built in phases to accommodate growing student population from the ongoing residential development at the Mountain House Community, including the proposed project. The first phase of Mountain House High School is planned to accommodate 650 students. The Tracy Unified School District(TUSD)would staff and operate the high school and will determine when the school will be constructed. Until Mountain House High School is built and operating, high school students residing in the Mountain House Community would be bussed(or driven) to either West High School or Tracy High School located in Tracy. However, these two high schools are currently over capacity and should not accept additional students. TUSD has acknowledged this problem and plans to use additional portable buildings as classrooms on an interim basis until Mountain House High School opens. TUSD would determine the Iocation of temporary facilities as the need arises or in the event that construction of Mountain House High School is delayed(EDAW, 2005b). 4-66
