| Hopefully parents are given control on where they send the kids to school and put the tax dollars to work. |

Yes, please, let’s let the people who can’t even find the calendar on the FCPS website control the process. That’ll work out well. Anyway, all your kids will be attending Trump Online Powered By Meta before long anyway, so have fun with all that. |

I can find the calendar. But, it should be upfront and easy to see. It is not. These are the people who are going to decide where to draw the lines on a map and they don't know how to put a calendar--which is one of the most used things by families--front and center? |

You have to magnify it to see what the legends are. Most people just want to see when the kids are out of school. It should not be this cumbersome. |

I suppose we can't trust government schools to turn out citizens who can find a calendar on a website. Surely that's a reason to limit the number of people who can opt out of government schools.

Rather have them than the people who cannot design a simple calendar that is accessed with one click. They are going to draw lines based on traffic patterns, split feeders, population, etc. when they cannot design a simple calendar? |

To your point, they absolutely lack the competence to propose and implement sensible boundary changes. They can barely play checkers, and they want us to believe they can win a chess tournament. |

You always know that when the phrase “government schools” is used the person using it in on some bullsh!t. |

if your criteria is that who ever can loopup the calendars on FCPS website, then so be it. All parents who can do that, should be a able to send their cards with their tax dollars to the schools of their choice. All others, whose parents can't find the calendar should send their kids to the choice of the FCPS -- morons can't even put a user friendly calendar. Deal? |

This boundary study will ensure vouchers become a main issue during the 2025 VA election cycle. |

+1. Michael Bloomberg wrote a WSJ article about the democrats’ denial over the education crisis. I wonder if the school board reads those type of articles. It’s clear they are going to exacerbate the downward trend of FCPS schools with the boundary changes. |

re calendar:
I just realized it is likely by design that it is so obscure. They don't want parents to easily see how few full weeks there are. |

Article today in Washington Post by Dan Balz discusses the Dems post-mortem after losing in November. I wonder if the Fairfax Dems will read it and reflect on the negative impact that a comprehensive boundary review will have on the former voters that it seems to win back.
Bleak times for the party, and the boundary changes will only work against the Dems. |

Every election is local. Fairfax county is solid solid blue. There is no reason for FCPS to stop itself to the race to bottom as they are the darling of ultra left foundations and unions. As parents who want best; kids are the causalities.. |
