We believe that long-term solutions to the overcrowding in Fairfax County Public Schools are the only ways to end school congestion effectively. The School Board recently established FPAC, the Facilities Planning Advisory Council (http://www.fcps.edu/fts/planning/fpac/appointees.htm), to look at the county with an overall approach to resolve boundary issues.
In the boundary study addressing the overcrowding at Annandale High School, we encourage the School Board to view any of the boundary and non-boundary options with this same long-term view. This is one of the many reasons that we oppose Non-Boundary Option 1a; instead of relieving the overcrowding at AHS by removing the population, it reshuffles the population to different schools, and prohibits flexibility to relieve further overcrowding. We believe that any boundary options should be examined from this perspective as well.
