Hello FCPS Students, Staff, Families, and Community,

I’d like to thank the many of you who have expressed your concern to me about the Virginia Department of Education's new model policies regarding the treatment of transgender and gender expansive students in public schools, and how they would impact our current guidelines for establishing a safe, supportive, welcoming, and inclusive school environment for all students, including our gender-expansive and transgender students. We have concluded our detailed legal review and determined that our current Fairfax County Public School (FCPS) policies are consistent with federal and state anti-discrimination laws as required by the new model policies.

Let me be clear that FCPS remains committed to fostering a safe, supportive, welcoming, and inclusive school environment for all students and staff, including our transgender and gender expansive students and staff.

We believe that supporting our students and working with parents and caregivers are not mutually exclusive; we already do both and will continue to do so. We know that students can only learn effectively when they feel safe and supported.

All students have a right to privacy in FCPS facilities or while participating in FCPS sponsored events. Any student who has a need or desire for increased privacy, regardless of the underlying reason, shall be provided with reasonable, non-stigmatizing accommodations.

Our existing policies still stand. This means that at FCPS schools, in accordance with our existing policies, our gender expansive and transgender students:

Will continue to be addressed by their chosen names and pronouns, as provided by FCPS Regulation 2603 (V) and federal law.

Will continue to be provided with access to facilities, activities, and/or trips consistent with their gender identity, as provided by Regulation 2603 (IX) and federal law.

Will continue to have their privacy respected regarding gender expansive or transgender status, legal name, or sex assigned at birth, as provided by FCPS Regulation 2603 and federal law.

As a school division our policies, procedures, and values should reflect our community. We will continue to consider feedback from everyone on Team FCPS – our students, staff, families, and community, in order to best support our students and staff while working with parents and caregivers. We will continue to make every effort to encourage and support communication between students and parents/caregivers.

Please feel free to reach out to me at [e-mail] with any questions or concerns and visit our LGBTQIA+ Student Resources and Supports webpage for more information.

Thank you again to the many of you who shared your perspectives on this matter over the last several weeks. Our diversity of voices and experiences is one of our community’s greatest strengths.

I’m looking forward to welcoming all of you back to a safe, welcoming, and respectful learning environment as the school year begins in just a few short days.

Warmest regards,

Michelle Reid, Ed.D.
Superintendent

Looks like the ball is now in the Commonwealth’s side of the court.

FCPS Regulation 2603 states that the school can circumvent the parent and influence the child directly.

Please post the language that says this.

DP and I didn’t read it, but here is the policy the PP references:

I am posting this so you know that I, a fellow FCPS parent, don’t care.

I disagree with trying to call FCPS out on this and expect outrage.

If you don’t like the screener, opt out. If you can get on DCUM, you can opt them out. Do it and leave the fake outrage behind.

You don't care that your kid's responses are linked to him and that this info is being used by a company with the sole purpose of making money funded by VC. Or that your kid's time is being wasted answering stupid questions? Even though I opted my kids out of the SEL, they still told me about surveys they had to take all year long during study hall. My kids have told me the surveys are viewed as a joke, at least at the middle and high school level. Where is the contract for all those surveys? How much do those cost? Also, our school is spending tons of money on training teachers in SBG and more to other consultants to align tests and grading. Lowering class size and increasing teacher pay are 2 things that would actually have an impact on learning. Every initiative, the strategic plan, equity/equal outcomes for all, ect...all result in a contract for outside consultants. Here is one for 455k for the strategic plan: https://defendinged.org/incidents/fairfax-county-public-school-superintendent-awards-sole-source-contract-for-465000-with-company-she-worked-with-previously-to-achieve-equal-outcomes-without-exception/

I doubt only 455k was spent on the strategic plan. Is there a point, an amount of money spent on all of this nonsense, that would bother you?

You can opt out of data sharing with other companies. I don’t care. I opted my kid out. I don’t care if they waste a little bit of money. I just don’t. Do you think Verizon honestly uses every penny wisely that I give to them. They don’t. Why have a different standard for a large school system vs large corporation? Cause taxes? Please. Capitalism doesn’t always work and waste just happens when things get big. This is one thing I’m not wasting my time on. I don’t care.

A public school system is funded by my tax dollars, the single person living in an apartment's tax dollars, the high schooler working at McDonald's tax dollars, the empty nesters' tax dollars....

Schools are publicly funded 100% by tax dollars. They are not even remotely close to a private or public for profit company like Verizon, that you can choose whether or not to puchase from.

How one could ever make this comparison between a cell phone company and a public school systems waste of taxpayer dollars is beyond logic.

Because they are both BIG and require bureaucracy to maintain operations to deal with the amount of people and things they use.

Yes, they are REMOTE (HA! Like the one for FIOS)ly close because they are both BIG.

I mean if individuals could oversee tax dollars, I might say that the street lamp near your house needs to go out or the roads near your house should never be paved. You know, just because we have a difference of opinion. To me, it seems wasteful that someone who doesn’t like taxes should have light at night. But I don’t know you and I wouldn’t say that because I get that it would be crazy and mean to pick on you just because I don’t like your response. I also know that we elect people who know a whole lot more about the situations of ALL the students in FCPS and I can do what I want for my kid. This isn’t about YOU and YOUR thoughts. Complain if you want to, but know that many other parents just don’t care and are following what is best for MY kid without attempting to whine about the entire system.


More than that, I just don’t care.

Clearly this poster cares quite a bit, in spite of many claims to the contrary.

Looks like the ball is now in the Commonwealth’s side of the court.

FCPS Regulation 2603 states that the school can circumvent the parent and influence the child directly.

Please post the language that says this.

A matter of urgency demands our collective attention within Fairfax County Public Schools. Regulation 2603 is stirring concerns due to provisions that challenge the role of parental approval in significant decisions.

Notably, Regulation 2603 asserts that schools shall accept a student or parent's assertion of a student's gender-expansive or transgender status—without requiring parental approval. This raises questions about the foundational principles of parental involvement in a child's education.

Adding to the concerns, Regulation 2603 introduces support teams that could potentially function solely between the school and the child, without the necessity of parental approval. These teams could make decisions encompassing gender-specific courses, restroom access, and more.

We cannot overlook the implications of such provisions, which have the potential to sideline parental input in shaping decisions crucial to our children's education and well-being.

More propaganda copy & pasted.

Are there specific rules/policies on this?

I have not seen them.

There are no guidelines.

Any boy, or male staff member, at any time or reason can walk into a girls bathroom or locker room in fcps, as long as they claim to feel trans or non binary at that moment.

There is zero gatekeeping and no parent permission or notification required.

If you opt your kid out of FLE or any lesson involving trans information of any kind, FCPS allows your kid to opt themselves back into the lesson without parent notification and in defiance of parent written opt out, according to Dr. Reid at her parent meet and greet last fall at our region 4 high school. Dr. Reid confirmed this is FCPS policy, verbally, not once, but twice in front of an auditorium full of parents.

Putting parent notification in place provides gatekeeping and protection that is beneficial to all students.

FCPS overriding parental opt out and written wishes, and deliberately hiding information from parents, especially given safety risks for female students AND trans students, and given the increased suicide and self harm risks by trans students, is ethically and morally wrong and should be illegal.

In what other situation would a school deliberately hide from parents student information that carried a significant risk of suicide and self harm?

Parents are the ones who will pick up the pieces if something goes wrong, not schools. Parents are part of a childs life for a lifetime, not Dr. Reid or the school board members. Parents are the ones who love, cherish and provide for their children, not Dr. Reid.

Not all families. Look at the ones who want to keep their kids ignorant. They care more about politics than caring for their own kids.

Oh, please.

Parents are the ones who love their children over their lifetimes. And sometimes love means saying no, as well as teaching kids what is popular and trendy is often very wrong with lifetime negative consequences.

Fortunately, our schools try to protect kids from bigots. Unfortunately, they probably are stuck with the bigots until they are 18.

I suspect PP is someone from the FLE committee. Several of them think anyone who disagrees with them is a bigot.

I think bigots are bigots. -not on FLE committee

Ugly troll. Go away!

Not a troll. Just someone who thinks it’s not acceptable for bigots to go after vulnerable kids as a political ploy.

They're not actually rules, just model policies. All of the right-wing conservative districts refused to follow the old model policies so FCPS is well within its rights to follow their precedent.

Saw Dranesville School Board candidate Robyn Lady marching with trans activist Willow Woycke earlier this week for trans rights. Lady has nothing to say about declining SAT scores or overcrowding in Dranesville schools but at least we know she’s out and proud.

Disagreeing with FCPS policy does not make you an abusive parent. Wanting to know thiings that are occurring at school does not make you an "abusive parent."

If a parent is abusing a child, there are steps that the schools can take. These steps do not involve keeping secrets from parents. Schools have been addressing abusive parents and protecting children for years. But, keeping gender change at school from a parent does not fall in that category.

What is abuse? Who is the abuser here? I think it is a bunch of adults who do not know the child as well as the parents do and think it is their "right" to make very serious decisions that affect the child's future.
Have you not seen any of the testimonies of the detransitioners?

As opposed to republicans focusing on those issues? Has the VDOE released any plan to deal with a decline in SAT scores and over crowding, surely they haven't been preoccupied with just pushing kids back into the closet? Have the republican Candidates for the board released a plan, or are you just holding democrats to different standards? I guess you can just provide a link to the republican plan that surely exists

PP posted about SAT decline and overcrowding- how exactly does the VDOE model address either?
