[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Board Meeting tomorrow night, and the below vote is buried in the end of the meeting.  The link has the full text in red with strike-throughs of the changes they're voting on  https://go.boarddocs.com/vsba/fairfax/Board.nsf/Public .  I think this impacts the boundary review:

Subject: Revision of Policy 8130 Regarding Phasing

Other Staff Present:  Kevin Jackson, Deputy Clerk to the School Board; Janet Brown, Deputy Clerk to the School Board
Meeting Category: July 10, 2025 - New Business

Summary/Background (Key Points):

VII. PHASING OF ADJUSTMENTS

Adjustments under this policy shall be implemented through attrition and phasing.

Elementary Schools:  When a boundary adjustment occurs at the middle school level, at the discretion of the School Board, rising sixth (or fifth) graders may be provided the option to remain in the school of attendance prior to the boundary change.

Middle Schools: When a boundary adjustment occurs at the middle school level, attendance in the new school boundary shall be mandatory for incoming 6th grade students in schools with a 6-8 grade configuration and for incoming 7th grade students in schools with a 7-8 grade level configuration. Currently enrolled students shall be given the option to remain at the school or attend the school in the new boundary.  These allowances shall not be applicable in the opening of a new school, or in the closing of an existing school.

High Schools: When a boundary adjustment occurs at the high school level, attendance in the new school boundary shall be mandatory for incoming 9th grade students. Students in grades 10-12 shall be given the option to remain at their current school or attend the school in the new boundary.  These allowances shall not be applicable in the opening of a new school, or in the closing of an existing school
 
The School Board may adopt other phasing plans as appropriate to the individual boundary study.
