Now Dunne is encouraging the people who don’t want their kids in schools with modulars to turn on their neighbors and propose brand-new boundary changes that Thru and the BRAC haven’t proposed. If that happens, it will be chaos and this sordid process will drag out even longer.

All they really should be focusing on now are Coates and boundaries for the new western high school, but they are too befuddled to figure that out.

DP. I agree with this. There's too much uncertainty right now in N Virginia with federal worker cuts, deportations etc. We don't know what the size of the population will be here next year. Fix the immediate problems and leave the rest until we figure out what's an actual problem.

I and other people have brought this up at boundary meetings and one of Dunne’s town halls, and it is always just brushed off. A lot of “we don’t think this is happening” denialism. Well, the official numbers will speak for themselves in a few years - maybe even by the end of this school year.

enrollment is already down 4000+ kids from last year. Reid is blaming fear of ICE raids as the reason.

That’s one reason. Other reasons include federal jobs losses and dissatisfaction with FCPS’s current direction and obsession with boundaries.

One of those things is something within the sphere of responsibility of Reid and the School Board, but they pretend to ignore that.

The top reasons are: 1) Immigration enforcement, 2) Demographic changes, 3) Federal job situation, and 4) Housing affordability. Boundary changes are not a significant factor affecting enrollment.

You have no way of knowing how many people are bailing on or avoiding FCPS due to uncertainty around boundaries.

I know of 3 just in my circle. 6th through 9th grades.

DP. I know of at least four, mostly elementary.

Moving before any boundaries changes are even made?

I call BS. People who have left were probably already planning to leave.

You have no way of knowing that. FCPS knows exactly how many kids moved to other parts of the county or state or moved out of state or left the country entirely and how many left for private or homeschool because that information is required when you un-enroll your child. They should release this information but they won't.

+1. They are a couple of days from the second to last set of maps being released and don’t even know what they are doing with KAA. It’s amateur hour.

And when they change boundaries to accommodate KAA, it’s going to be insane. A couple board members have made it clear that there won’t be grandfathering for that school. Imagine being a 9th grader this year who is about to get yanked out of his/her school for KAA.

Well that’s sort of insane. Why wouldn’t there be grandfathering? I thought there was full grandfathering when South County opened, kids could elect to stay at Hayfield if they were already going there.
