[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Following this situation very closely and anxious for results, come May. We were enthusiastically planning to move from DC to Fairfax and were excited about a seamless transfer from a DC immersion program. If Fairfax gets rid of immersion we will stay put in DC. Those against the program could probably give a hoot; however, [b]Fairfax will lose people who would add to the tax base if it gets rid of great programs. Very sad for everyone[/b].[/quote]

No worries there.  FCPS is already overcrowded, so it would be great if fewer people moved here.  I sincerely hope they do cut immersion, AAP, and other extraneous programs.  Maybe then the focus can return to beefing up basics such as grammar, writing, and spelling - for all.  [/quote]

The overcrowding is because of people who aren't paying taxes and they'll keep coming regardless of what's cut.  [b]The cuts will scare away/deter taxpayers, so be careful what you wish for.[/b][/quote]

No, they won't.  People will continue moving to FxCo due to all the jobs, the tech corridor, etc.  [/quote]

There are plenty of people who move to Fairfax who work in Dac, Arlington, etc. There are many choices where those people can live. The schools, including the programs they offer, are attractive. Still attractive, despite the overly large class sizes. If they cut immersion, AAP, and other programs, all that will be left to attract families is the overly large class sizes.[/quote]
