Ricardy Anderson did that at the first meeting. She was HOT, probably angrier than the parents.

Counterpoint: She and everyone except Mcelveen has steadfastly supported this shitshow. You shouldn’t applaud an arsonist for trying to put out the raging fire that she helped start.

I think that they wanted a review, a real one. I cannot fault them on that. This is a shitshow. Something that they should just cut bait from.

You can’t fault them for enacting policy that caused delay in boundary changes urgently needed (Coates) so that they could do the county wide thing that isn’t needed? Gmafb. Some voters will rubber stamp anything because the politician has a certain letter next to their name.

The comprehensive review was an unnecessary farce from the get go- don’t whitewash it for them.

Slide from the school board meeting where they talked about lower enrollment this year can be found in this roundup:

"As of Sept. 22, FCPS has 177,007 students attending 199 schools and centers. Though the division still ranks as the ninth largest in the nation — with a larger student population than that of 11 states — enrollment is down by more than 4,000 students from the 181,153 in class at the end of the 2024-2025 school year."

There could be multiple causes for this decline in enrollment, but surely parents fleeing FCPS for other schools and jurisdictions where they aren't at as much risk of boundary changes inflicted by a divisive and useless Superintendent and School Board are one contributing factor.

It would be interesting to see that breakdown by race and hispanic/non-hispanic.

+100. The school board did immense damage just by engaging in the boundary review and requiring five year comprehensive reviews in the first place.

I wish they had just stuck to frequenting strip clubs while on SB junkets- would’ve done less damage.

That’s probably gettable if they keep reporting racial composition of the schools.

The school websites have all this info but I don’t think they update until the very end of the school year. But it will be interesting to see the enrollments at some of the 85%+ Hispanic schools in Springfield and Alexandria at the end of the year.

The reporting for individual schools that will start getting released within a few weeks (for September 2025 enrollment) breaks down enrollment by race/ethnicity.

It will be easy enough to see what’s happened at individual schools since last year.

I'd forgotten, but you can also check this information at the county-wide level as well.

Go a school profile, then go to the "Demographics" tab. From there, click on the "Student Ethnic" tab. This will pull up the information for the specific school, but you can then change the display to access the data for the division (FCPS), the region, the pyramid, the school level (i.e., high, middle, elementary), as well as an individual school.

The information for September 2025 should be available within a week or two, and you can access the historical information as well.

Wrong, as the prior post makes extremely clear.

The demographics lag by a year.

You have to go to Virginia DoE to get the current information

You are simply wrong.

It’s only the main FCPS profile pages for individual schools that upgrade the demographics annually. But you will be able to get demographic information for both individual schools and FCPS for September 2025 in a week or two. See the earlier post for details.

Well, they were not posted until the end of the year last year.
