FCPS Boundary Studies

[Anonymous]

Huh....I hate the boundary studies. The outcomes are already pre-determined by the school board and they don't listen to any sense of reason. And yes, my DC did get to stay in its current school so I am not a bitter parent.

am I the only person who wants another rezoning in a school that just got rezoned last year? I'm sorry, but when our elementary school has 30 kids in a K class and the one just down the road has 19, there is something VERY wrong.

I would replace the phrase "the school board" with the name "Dean Tisdadt" and not alter the remainder of the sentence.

Probably more like 2018, and therefore decisions before that time that feed into the 2018 boundary design will be de facto implemented by Facilities staff prior to 2018.

Dunno. If it's unfunded through 2017, that would seem to suggest there wouldn't be money set aside to plan any earlier than 2018 or to build before 2019, and the new schools are usually well on their way to completion before the boundary studies get formally launched.

I can't speak to your point as to whether Facilities will have decided in advance what the new boundaries may be. It's hard to get too bent out of shape skeptical when the new school site hasn't even been identified yet.

That isn't a boundary study.

The CIP identifies a need for additional elementary
school capacity in this area. Included in the 5-year CIP
cycle is funding for an addition to Marshall Road
Elementary School. Approximately $1.77 million of the
cost for this addition is funded through development
proffer contributions; the remaining cost is currently
unfunded. Also identified in the CIP, but included in
years beyond the 5-year CIP cycle, is an unfunded
requirement for a new elementary school in the Fairfax/
Oakton area which could provide some capacity for the
Madison HIgh School pyramid elementary schools.
Staff will continue to monitor enrollments at these
schools.
Accommodations for capacity deficits may include
potential interior architectural modifications, if possible,
or temporary/modular building additions pending further
community engagement on the prioritization of needed
capacity enhancement and monitoring of enrollments.

Just take note that the addition that is being proposed at Lemon Road is not included in the CIP.
