teaching in fairfax county va

[Anonymous]

I was curious, if you teach in Fairfax County VA are you able to register your dependent children in the area in which you are teaching. It extremely difficult for me to send my children to a school outside of the school zone in which I will be teaching and have not yet received a clear answer concerning this matter. I ask because in most other states dependent children of teacher are able to attend schools in the zoning area where they will be teaching.

I am not a teacher, but all of the teachers I know with elementary and middle school-age children have their children attend school in the zone where they teach.

Do you mean that you reside outside of Fairfax County or do you mean you reside in another Ffx Cnty school attendance area?

If it is the latter, then yes, you can choose to have your kids attend in the school where you teach. If it is the former, I'd be surprised if you could, but I don't actually know.

Regulation 2230.11 Pupil Placement regulations:

3. Child of Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) Employee
The parent or guardian is an FCPS employee who works more than 20 hours per
week, resides in Fairfax County, and is requesting a student transfer to the school
in which the parent or guardian is employed or to the school nearest the
employee’s work location. If the request for a student transfer is to the school in
which the parent or guardian is employed, in this instance only, capacity issues will
not prevent the transfer.

I do not reside in Fairfax county, so according to the last post, I could not have my children attend Fairfax county schools?
