[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Shrevewood was also part of the priority boundary adjustment in the CIP for 2020-2024. The timing was to do the scoping in Fall 2019, boundary study in Spring 2020, with adjustments for the 2021-2022 school year. See pg 46: https://www.fcps.edu/sites/default/files/media/pdf/amended-FY2020-24-CIP.pdf

As far as I can tell, the scoping has not yet been done. [/quote]

Shrevewood parent here.  This is my concern - they told us at the end of last year that FCPS would be doing a boundary study in the fall, but with the new principal, and the AP being on medical leave until recently, there has been no update or communication about this so I highly doubt anything has happened.  The CIP 21-25 actually has the same timeline (boundary study being completed in the fall of 2019, and students moved in time for the next school), so I think we're basically screwed.

Meanwhile, many of the Tysons/Vienna/McLean/Great Falls schools are projected to lose enrollment over the next five years (there was a school that expected to be at 67% capacity in 2025, and several in the 70s!).  I know they are going to lobby hard to stay under-enrolled because they don't want kids from our diverse community in their schools.

I wish I could say I was happy this CIP passed, but I know it's not going to do anything for us.[/quote]

Yep, I'm 11:36 and a Shrevewood parent. My kids have been there since the 2012-2013 school year, and we still have more years to go. I'm discouraged by the lack of movement on this issue over the years - the CIP has noted Shrevewood's overcrowding for YEARS, and yet nothing has changed. The CIP also calls for looking at utilizing the Dunn Loring site as a school again, and still nothing. Call me a cynic...[/quote]
