[quote=Anonymous]Tonight's meeting at WSHS discusses the following:

Boundary Study #5 focuses on the pyramid alignment for certain students assigned to Rolling Valley ES. This study is led by Marcy Kneale, Assistant Superintendent (Strategy, Planning, and Learning) for FCPS.

During the comprehensive boundary review, FCPS sought to eliminate as many split feeders as possible, to include the split feeder at Rolling Valley ES. Historically, some students were assigned to the Lewis HS pyramid and others to the West Springfield HS pyramid. To eliminate the split feeder, FCPS established a new school boundary along the Fairfax County Parkway. Students living south of the Parkway were reassigned to Saratoga ES, which is part of the Lewis HS pyramid. With the exception of a single Student Planning Area (SPA), students living north of the Parkway were assigned to the West Springfield HS pyramid. Boundary Study #5 focuses on the remaining SPA north of the Parkway, which is assigned to the Lewis HS pyramid.

Through community meetings, local residents raised a host of concerns, to include:

- Overcrowding at Irving MS (108%) and West Springfield HS (114%); and
- Underenrollment at Key MS (72%) and Lewis HS (81%).

These issues necessitated additional time to conduct a thorough study, develop options for potential boundary changes and/or pyramid realignments, and hold additional community meetings.[/quote]
