[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My understanding is many are relocating to this area. Why OP?[/quote] I am worried about schools, FCPS specifically. Maybe the number of refugees is not that high, but for the amount of posts asking for donations on my Facebook page and nextdoor, Iam worried about the impact on FCPS resources - class size, ESOL, etc.[/quote] Oh goodness. Seriously? They are being sent to other locations and most would be a boon to any community — perhaps people like you might discover the act of EMPATHY and COMPASSION[/quote] Happy to have them relocate here. Have some compassion. If you want to walk in another person's shoes - specifically refugees such as these (and learn something about our refugee system) please read After the Last Border - Two Families and the Story of Refuge in America by Jessica Goudeau. It's fantastic.[/quote]
