Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS)
Exactly. |
No ones knows except the members. The meetings are supposed to be posted in advance and made public but the SB is keeping them secret. Need to check Reddit for leaks. |
Yeah, it's kind of a mess with all this going on simultaneously. Keep in mind some of the earlier ES boundary changes (Glen Forest, Kent Gardens) are still getting phased in as well. I don't think they have the bandwidth to sort this out at the same time. |
You post frequent with lots of valuable information. But it is so difficult to understand what you are posting because you post everything in random fragments that are completely uncomnected to the previous fragment. It reads like an inner monologue starting midway between several independent conversations. Would you consider posting either in complete sentences or bullet points? I think your sharing of valuable insight and history would be so more effective if it was written in a simple, clear and concise way. Right now the posts read like "Bacon and eggs. Blew my budget... annoying cashier, (insert link) Kid always complaining; FIVE HOURS! (Insert link) Recipes never work for me??? thanks mother in law.. quit calling. Always start the day with breakfast" |
So NO ONE wants boundary changes except for those who DO want boundary changes? Can we look forward to more brilliant analysis of this nature? |
+1. Yes more of that will come with “School Board shills,” “equity warriors” and “boundary changes for ther but not for me” peppered in. This topic has made me wish DCUM required registration. I suspect that a few people have made hundreds of posts about boundaries. |
That’s a different poster, not me. But her point is a valid one, namely that peoples who want boundary changes are primarily looking to mooch off of other Fairfax families. It’s pretty gross if you think about it. You two love to attack the messengers, but it’s because you are devoid of any actual compelling reasons for boundary changes that would significantly negatively affect the impacted students and also drive the country further along its death spiral. |

There are plenty of reasons for boundary changes. They have been stated repeatedly. You don’t agree with them but that doesn’t mean they don’t exist. The bullying from anti change people who immediately insult people to shut down discussion is aggressive and ugly.
And fair facts matter sent its members to community meetings throughout county (and spread them at different tables) even though they lived in great falls to make it seem there was opposition everywhere. |
OMG, I’m dying. Spot on. DP |
Where do your kids attend school? I think it should be required to state what schools your children attend if you want anyone to take you seriously in your quest for boundary changes. Mine attend Langley and I’ve been very open about that. So where do yours go? |
Citation for this claim ^^? And fyi - opposition IS everywhere. WSHS does NOT want to move to Lewis. NO ONE WANTS TO MOVE. Not sure why you can’t grasp this. |

Speaking of FairFACTS Matters, what happened over at the Great Falls Citizens Association? The Executive Board supposedly terminated the President and the Secretary this week over a $5000 contribution made to FairFACTS Matters to help fight any boundary changes that would move Great Falls families out of Langley.
The possibility of boundary changes really does end up pitting people against each other, even within the Great Falls community. |
That’s just cruel. |
McLean HS but that’s not the point. Some of us can see that capacity usage and transportation should be made more efficient for the system as a whole. It’s not just about our own kids (I also think all kids will be fine after a brief adjustment- boundary changes happen regularly elsewhere; kids aren’t moved all by themselves, they will be moved with their neighborhoods; Fcps has the same curriculum and staff quality throughout…). |
Ummm, the second part is just a straight up lie. Fairfacts matters told the group about the meetings in all of the regions because there are group members in each region. There was no coordinated effort to “spread them at different tables”. Now, if you want to talk about putting your thumb on the scale, you could ask why FPAC members sat themselves at the different tables at various meetings. That is actually nefarious as they are a school board-group masquerading as community members. You lose credibility when you lie. And people across the entire county don’t want these changes, despite what you two SB shills think. |
