Thousands of planned studio and micro-apartments to be constructed in Mountain View’s North Bayshore area will likely not add many kids to the local school districts. This comes as welcome news to those initially concerned that the growth plan would require up to five new schools to accommodate the influx of school-age residents, according to a Mountain View Voice report. 

However, school district officials warn that Google and Sobrato’s plan to build 9,850 housing units will still add pressure to the Mountain View Whisman School District and the Mountain View-Los Altos High School District. The previous projection was that the districts would see 3,466 new students but that number has since dropped to 2,345 students after new calculations were made by the firm Jack Schreder & Associates.

According to Mountain View Whisman Superintendent Ayinde Rudolph, the reduction in extra students doesn’t change much for the district. The school district is still dealing with a construction funding gap of $75 million to build school facilities to accommodate all the additional students. Furthermore, the district needs land for the new campuses.

Rudolph says the district should meet with Google to resolve any disputes about the uptick in enrollment within 45 days of the City Council approving the plan.
