Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS)
DP Is that supposed to be an argument? |
Last I checked that's part of the crossfield community, if the kids are originally zoned to Crossfield. What numbers do you have? |
| Just looked at the comments on the petition. I guess they think they care more about their kids than other people. One did bring up property values, too. |
Did you read the petition? where does it say that its only current crossfield students? You can be a "crossfield family" without being a current crossfield student... |
Which zip codes feed into Crossfield is it only 20171? |
| That petition was shared far and wide. Definitely not just Crossfield or even Oakton signatures. |
Of course Grandma and Grandpa probably signed it as well. What’s important is the percentage actually from the zip codes that feed into Crossfield. There is a good mapping tool on a lot of petition websites to verify. Can someone post the link? |
Fox Mill Woods has a Reston address, I think. These kids go to South Lakes--not Oakton. Crossfield Elementary School has a 20171 address. Pretty sure that all others are in 20171. |

Just checked petition page:
80% of supporters come from: 20171 22033 20191 22033 is Fairfax/Navy. That one road that is split between Lee's Corner and Crossfield also has 22033--but there are not that many homes there to contribute that many signatures, I don't think. Navy friends may be helping with the petition. 20191 is Reston. Fox Mill Woods. But, they are not at Oakton. The real question is: where do the other 20% of signatures come from? That may be Grandma and Grandpa. |
Really great run down, thank you! |
It's a troll. |
It is the epitome of dumb when people pretend that property values don’t matter. I’ve heard this over and over from the school board members, and then they turn around and kvetch about not having enough money. Citizens care deeply about property values and the school board really hurts FCPS by ignoring it. And I’m not even a die-hard free market person. |
You want the school system to be divided up and allocate its resources to protect private property values, and not to efficiently operate a school system? Thats a bold take. |
You want the school system to have significantly less money to operate? Also bold. |
20191 may be at SL, but they would be impacted by a move to Western too. |
