[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am shocked.   They are not doing anything to help the overcrowding in the Fairfax pyramid.   Guess they are waiting for Fairfax City to yell again.

Question - some of their solutions are to create AAP centers in schools so that overcrowded centers are helped.   These changes take no capital funds.    When they suggested it in elementary schools, they are suggested a timeline of 1-2 years.   When they suggest it for middle school, the timeline is over the 3 year mark.    Why?   [/quote]

They just redistricted to relieve overcrowding at Lanier/Fairfax and enrollment in the pyramid declined this year at every level.  The long-term plans call for a new HS in western Fairfax and, while FCPS did not suggest this could impact FHS,  I wouldn't be surprised if the western part of the FHS attendance area that is in the county ends up in that study.  Certainly some of those areas are closer to Centreville than Fairfax.

Not sure about the thinking on the timing of new AAP centers, other than that they don't want to open new AAP centers at MS that are scheduled for renovation until after the renovations are completed.  It may be that they think it makes sense to monitor the enrollment trends for a longer period at the other middle schools before making a decision. [/quote]
