Crump added that the site is positioned perfectly to relieve overcrowding at both Terra Linda and Oquirrh. Logical boundary lines could be set up, with most students coming from a square area directly between the two existing schools.

To deal with this problem, the ad hoc committee proposes that Bella Vista, Brookwood, Butler, Canyon View, Copperview, Cottonwood accommodate new middle school. New high school boundaries will therefore be needed.
