[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are plans afoot on the FCPS school board to re-zone Vienna ES, basically, bus some areas currently zoned for Vienna to other schools, and bus in kids from other schools to Vienna ES, to balance the racial demographics.

You can look up One Fairfax and the changes to the FCPS boundary guidelines that they are working on for more information. No specific new lines have been drawn yet; so you’ll have to just roll the dice if you’re considering moving there.

FCPS school board has been pretty adamant over the years that people should not expect their home address to remain zoned for the same schools, and that it’s caveat emptor all subject to change.[/quote]

I'll believe that when I see it.  The FCPS School Board talks a good game and then favors wealthier communities over less wealthy ones in practice.

Why do you think FCPS is building a $40M addition at West Potomac, if not to keep kids from being rezoned to poorer (and under-enrolled) Mount Vernon?   [/quote]

Yes, in years past, they have talked a good game but failed to racially balance schools in FCPS. The One Fairfax racial equity plan, and the changes to the boundary policy, are concrete new steps they have taken that will enable the diversity of Fairfax to be spread equally across schools.

Just think - could any of us ever have dreamed that the sacred cow of TJ would be forced to change their admittance policies to accept more black and brown students? This is not the FCPS of 10 years ago, or even 5 ... as a wise man once said the times they are a changing![/quote]

Ah, here we have a One Fairfax acolyte.  Enjoy busing your children for miles out of their way, all in the name of “racial equity.”  [/quote]
