Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS)
TL; DR version: "My school was already renovated and expanded, so I don't really have anything to worry about, but it's fine to move other kids around and ignore the schools that actually need additional seats because we have to justify the expansions that weren't really needed." Sorry to be harsh, but if you think this School Board gives a rat's ass about being fiscally responsible you have not been paying attention. |
When 8130 revisions were passed. Don’t double down on dumb. |
The touch grass person is definitely not a man. |
Why on earth do you go on and on about zoning Oakton kids away from Oakton HS??? |
DP. They can create a web page that calls it the Dalai Lama's Boundary Review Advisory Committee. That doesn't necessarily mean that it was created by Reid as opposed to the School Board and then reframed as her committee to try and limit access to its discussions. And, even if it were a committee to advise Reid, no Superintendent that really cares about transparency, as she claims to do on many occasions, would operate in this manner. They are doing the same thing with the FLECAC (family life committee). |
Thin beer there. |
Dude is desperate to move kids out of Oakton and then argue his Falls Church kid should get rezoned there. |
Show the boarddocs page where the Board created it then. |
My kids were at a split feeder elementary school, so their friends went to one of two middle schools. They are currently at a split feeder middle school, so their friends will go to one of four (I think) different high schools. IT'S ALREADY DISRUPTIVE FOR A LOT OF KIDS!!!! I would absolutely love for this to be fixed, so that my kids could be K-12 with the same kids like I was, but interestingly, neither their elementary school, nor their middle school seems to be under consideration for rezoning. Some of us are actually okay with the prospect of rezoning because our kids' friends groups are changing all over the place anyway. I know I'm not the only parent in this situation so I wish folks would stop speaking for everyone. |
| Can someone explain many people’s dislike for HS with IB? |
West Springfield is currently at 112% capacity and expected to go to 120% capacity by 2029-2030. Chantilly is currently at 125% capacity if you don’t include modulars and expected to be at 118% capacity without modulars by 2029-2030. Langley is currently at 94% capacity and expected to be at 96% capacity by 2029-2030. How is there even a comparison? It makes sense to lower the numbers of students at over capacity schools. It doesn’t make sense to unnecessarily rezone kids from an under capacity school. |
See. They’re a SB cult. These are the very folks who go around saying the red hats are a cult. |
It has been explained multiple times in just this thread and msny others. Do a keyword search. |
Isn't Carson the only middle school that sends kids to four high schools, and that's because the AAP program pulls in some Chantilly kids who otherwise wouldn't go there. If they don't address the weird splits into and out of Carson, it shouldn't make you any happier if they make other changes for which there was little or no demand (others were fine with existing attendance islands and other split feeders, or weren't complaining about their supposedly "overcrowded" schools). |
