I am so glad we are finally over with the boundary changes so we can now move on to the Western HS boundary changes and then after that the priority January 2027 boundary changes and then after that the remaining priority areas for consideration for boundary changes identified by Reid, and then after that the next county-wide five-year review.

And then at some point in the midst of all that they will circle back to vote again on whether to provide transportation to kids affected by the boundary changes.

Like I said, it's such a relief to be done with this once and for all.    [/quote] It’s what happens when you have a school system the size of Fairfax (both in population and acreage). Change is constant. [/quote]

Nope. They just wasted two years of the county’s time threatening a comprehensive review only to enact a few rudimentary capacity adjustments that would have been done better under the previous method because FCPS resources wouldn’t have been stretched so thin juggling the entire county’s concerns.

Then maybe someone would have paid attention to the fact that the numbers for Kilmer were bogus. Now they’ve overcorrected for a capacity issue that didn’t exist. Thoreau and Jackson will feel the strain of feeding into 3 recently expanded schools that they don’t have the seats for while Kilmer and Longfellow will be underutilized. And they won’t be able to send Wolftrap back to Kilmer because it was their only accomplishment from this review.

Change is constant, that is true. They were doing a hand full of boundary studies every year. McLean and Langley boundaries have shifted constantly over the last few years as well as Justice’s elementary schools. It’s not like boundary adjustments were invented in the update to policy 8130. The way they barreled through this review, however was a disaster. [/quote]

Well said.  This boundary review was a debacle and only Ryan McElveen had the courage to call it out for the fiasco that it was.  [/quote]
