[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FARMs rates and overall student population rates will continue to decline for a few reasons such as overall population decline, less immigration into the US, a desire to be further from DC, etc. The school board and its contractor have a lot of data points to put together as part of the boundary review. Hope they have the ability to appropriately connect the dots. [/quote]' Since the FARMS rate is a percentage, overall population decline isn't necessarily correlated with a decline in the FARMS rate. Less immigration could be a factor, as could more affordable housing options for lower-income families outside Fairfax. Even so, I think there's something else going on here impacting the reporting that hasn't been explained yet. The boundary consultant isn't focusing on FARMS rates, or at least they haven't been doing so to date. Maybe that will change between now and the fall. [/quote]
