(Francisco Kjolseth | The Salt Lake Tribune) North Star Elementary principal Nathan Elkins gets an elevated view of students during recess as they play adjacent to I-215 on Monday, Feb. 11, 2019. With 530 students in Pre-K through 6th grade, it is one of the closest schools to the planned inland port development, located less than a mile away. The inland port, a massive development planed for Salt Lake City's westernmost area is cause for concern for the Salt Lake City School District through possible impacts in air quality and students, who they already have to keep inside from recess on bad air days.
