Full Press Release
The Nampa School District (NSD) is actively exploring new options for the location of its Transportation Center and Bus Depot.
Our primary goal is to provide a safe, efficient, and cost-effective solution for our transportation needs. To ensure the best possible outcome for our students, staff, and community, the district administration has initiated a comprehensive review of alternative locations for the new Transportation Center and Bus Depot outside of the former Union High School/Sunnyridge Elementary site.
Several potential sites are currently under review, with considerations including accessibility, impact on traffic, cost, and overall benefit to the district and surrounding neighborhoods. The District is committed to a transparent process and will be communicating with community members, staff, and other stakeholders to share updates as the process progresses.
