[quote=Anonymous]Did anyone else notice the following:

"Three community boundary scoping meetings [b]were held in June 2017 at Marshall Road, Mosby Woods, and Oakton Elementary schools.[/b] These meetings presented the purpose of the study as follows: “The purpose of the boundary adjustment is provide capacity relief to Jackson MS by using available capacity at the newly renovated Thoreau MS.” The meetings utilized participant-facilitated break out groups in order to collect feedback for consideration by Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS).

As a result of the three community boundary scoping meetings and online feedback, FCPS received comments which were compiled and posted on the FCPS website.  [b]Three schools were [u]identified by the community[/u] to be considered as part of the boundary study: Marshall Road, Mosby Woods, and Oakton Elementary schools.[/b]"

That is from Attachment A for the upcoming School Board meeting (link below) where they will approve the change:

Does it seem odd to anyone else that they had meetings at three elementary schools regarding the relief of overcrowding at Jackson and those three schools are the schools being moved? Did the residents really get to decide that their own schools should be moved rather than others? If they had meetings at other elementary schools, could they have also chosen to move themselves to the wealthier and newly refurbished school? What am I missing about this process?[/quote]
