Contents

Located in Canyon County, it includes the majority of Nampa. A tract of land in Caldwell extends into this district. [1]

History

In 2001, the district had over 11,000 students. That year, it was experiencing overcrowding. [2] The district leadership proposed a school bond worth $39,750,000. [3]

In 2022, the school district board of trustees ordered the banning of 24 books from school libraries, [4] including The Kite Runner. [5]

The district began a four school day per week schedule in 2024, and at the time it was the largest school district in Idaho to do so. [6] Circa 2004, the district had all of its high schools operate on a semester system, with eight classes at a time. [7] Classes were held on alternating A and B days. In 2024, the school district moved to a trimester system. [8] Haadiya Tariq of the Idaho Press wrote that, citing these choices and the school closures, this became "a difficult 2023-2024 school year full of hard decisions". [9]
