Where is the staff diversity, experience, and longevity reported in the cited report?

DP, above poster no need to be snarky. I like to know the demographics of the schools for staff diversity ( especially the average teachers experience/how long they may have been at a school) , student diversity, and disability diversity. I'm sure everyone wants the best for their children.

Has to make sure that the percentage of brown children in her school doesn't exceed her threshold before school starts.

Wrong. Demographic data is still being reported on an individual school basis. Called and FCPS says previous year's data will be released "in the fall".

Is that a threat?
If you're so interested in this, why not call FCPS to see if the policy has changed, rather than complaining when you don't even know it to be a fact?

No, this report used to be available by December of the current school year. They didn't release it last year, for the first time in many years. Too lazy or disorganized, I guess.

But somehow they are going to spend time and money changing school names. Definitely thinking about pulling our kids out of FCPS until it gets its priorities right.

Perhaps they've concluded sharing such information accelerates flight from some schools. Or maybe they are just lazy. Not sure which, but it makes FCPS look very bad compared to APS and MCPS, which update their data regularly.
Up till the end of the school year you could see the data.

The Virginia DOE changed the format of its reports - is this a reflection of that?

Be patient. The publication schedule clearly indicates it's updated annually in September. It's always been one year delay.
