Nah, instead they’re doubling up. Every pyramid gets a buddy for both sets of meetings.

But that contradicts Policy 8130.

Policy 8130 explicitly states that FCPS "shall" host a meeting in each affected pyramid prior to proposed maps and after the maps are released.

Having schools double up on meetings is in violation of Policy 8130 public notice.

If your neighborhood gets rezoned when the maps are released, and you live in a pyramid like West Springfield that has not had a single meeting scheduled in violation of Policy 8130, can you sue to block the rezoning since FCPS is deliberately ignoring the public notice requirements set out in Policy 8130 and Virginia Code?

Are policies laws? How would it violate Virginia Code?

Virginia Code has very specific steps required for public notice.

Policy 8130 requires a meeting in any pyramid with proposed rezoning, both prior to maps being proposed and after they are released.

West Springfield pyramid has had zero meetings scheduled during this entire process, not even elementary school level meetings like Dunne has been holding

Why is FCPS not following the public notice portion of policy 8130, and avoiding meetings entirely in the West Springfield pyramid?

I hope they get sued and lose. They treat public input as a formality to be ignored, and they don't even bother to follow their own policies.

Meanwhile no one has any idea how the KAA purchase will affect school boundaries, or when, either.

Just a really shitty group of people at Gatehouse and on the School Board now. Occasionally someone like Dunne or Meren tries to send an SOS signal but most of them let Reid get away with one stupid move after another.
