West Ada School District

West Ada just opened a new elementary school to handle growth. So why is the district considering the future of McMillan Elementary in Boise? The enrollment numbers help explain it and families still have another chance to weigh in.

The district cleans up the mess and some people are mad!

West Ada taxpayers are already under siege due to the district's constant growth.

Finding out that a close contact has tested positive for COVID-19 has become an everyday source of anxiety for many people in the Treasure Valley.

Will there be enough teachers to keep the schools open?

Parent groups have been very vocal about their resistance to remote learning.

First staff shortages in service industries took a big hit. Next and most recently the airlines were forced to cancel tons of flights due to airline staff out sick mostly due to the pandemic. Now it is hitting our school system.

It is an all-volunteer, non-profit organization that has been working with West Ada School District since 1990. One major program for Assistance League of Boise is Operation School Bell. This provides brand new clothing to K-6 students with the greatest needs.

Launched in 2018 this incredible organization helps local youth and families who need it most. A simple app makes it easy to help anytime.

The Ada County Highway District has no jurisdiction to approve or deny the opening of a school and understands the tremendous benefits the new location provides in serving the community.
