These terms are just extra. Listen, I’m no fan of some the SB or FCPS policies but the language being used reminds me of the whole Open FCPS rhetoric of families/parents/kids being presented as victims of the evil, woke SB.  And if anyone dares disagree, they get accused of being SB shills.  It wouldn’t surprise me if the Venn Diagram of Open FCPS peeps and people harping about boundaries is a circle.

People are frustrated because the School Board is largely composed of a bunch of political hacks who largely march in lock step and aren’t honest about their intentions.  They or their defenders will claim a boundary study is necessary to save money but then turn around and propose to spend money on entirely unnecessary projects with no apparent sense of fiscal responsibility whatsoever.

I am sure there is some overlap between critics of the boundary study and the #OpenFCPS supporters, but it is anything but a complete overlap.  In any event, the flight of families from
FCPS after schools were closed and the need for significant remediation for FCPS students (whose performance dropped more than the state average during that period) validates many of the concerns raised by that group.

Bottom line, though, is if someone is looking to buy or rent in Fairfax in 2025, and is concerned about schools, they should understand that boundaries are potentially in flux and that it is even now impossible to discern what will actually trigger a boundary change.  [/quote]
