Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS)
I'm sure he doesn't. It's not his fault. He's getting this info from staff and they haven't provided that information. |
And the meetings are starting next week. Since they are too incompetent to provide decent notice about meetings, I'm not optimistic these clowns can actually pull off boundary changes. The incompetence is through the roof. |
|
They sent out an email this afternoon with information about how to register virtually or in person for the September meetings, but they don't say anything that aligns with Mateo Dunne's email about how two schools are paired at every meeting, much less identify the "paired" schools.
It's insane how bad these people are at their jobs. Does Dunne have to run interference for them all the time? Most of the other School Board members appear to be asleep and Reid is a disaster. |
| Reid is shoving these meetings in because Melanie Meren pointed out at the 8/26 SB Work Session that the regulation calls for a certain number of community feedback meetings in every pyramid and that had not been met. So even though there's nothing new for communities to react to - like an actual start times change proposal, or actual scenarios on busing because those are impossible at this point, or new maps - they're having meetings so they can say they did what they promised. It's absolutely infurating and everyone should contact SB members and Reid to say so ASAP. |

| Any indication that the first meetings are the “least affected” pyramids? So the October meetings will be most affected when we see huge changes on maps? |
worth watching from 1:08:00 to 1:22:00 on boundary |
Hard to say. Marshall is in the first round and there were lots of Thru proposals affecting that pyramid. Other schools in that group like Edison, West Potomac, and Woodson also were teed up for some changes. |
|
The email said it was focusing on two pyramids per meeting, but only the high school listed is noted. If your school isn’t listed, which meeting are you supposed to go to?
AHHHHHHHH! |
Nah, instead they’re doubling up. Every pyramid gets a buddy for both sets of meetings. |
That's what Mateo Dunne says, but they haven't indicated how the pyramids are paired and the meetings start on Monday. Just incredible incompetence on the part of FCPS leadership, yet again. |
Right but who is the buddy? I must have missed the list, but I’m not seeing it. How do we know which meeting to go to if it isn’t on the list? I’m trying to stay involved and help even though (so far) our neighborhood has been left alone. But I can’t if the information isn’t accessible. |
| If they are going to be this intentionally bad at rolling out the community meetings, which are obviously just for show, I’m surprised they didn’t just make one Fairfax-wide community meeting. |

Someone just posted this on FB:
“FCPS provides no guarantee that any residential address will continually be served by the same elementary, middle, and/or high school(s) or AAP center(s)” (for 2026-2027 school year). This is the new disclaimer on the FCPS Boundary Locator System Tool. From the rest of the disclaimer, it may be inferred that AAP centers are possibly going to be realigned/moved. |
I don’t know if they tinkered with the language but this type of disclaimer has been on the boundary locator for many years. |
