Dear FCPS Families and Staff, 

We would like to update you on the next step in Phase 2 (Part 2) of our comprehensive boundary review process. As a reminder, the October community boundary review meetings will begin on Monday, October 13. Please review the meeting schedule below, as some of the dates have changed. There will be 12 hybrid meetings (held in person and virtual). Each will focus on two pyramids, similar to the September meetings. A pyramid includes one high school or secondary school, and the middle and/or elementary schools that feed into it.

What to Expect at October Meetings

The consultant will present the latest draft boundary map (Scenario 4) and changes specific to the two pyramids. They will also take questions from participants. As a reminder, the draft boundary map was informed by the Superintendent's Boundary Review Advisory Committee, who reviewed community feedback received in the spring.  

Boundary Explorer Tool

The draft boundary map will be uploaded to the Boundary Explorer tool on Friday, October 10, in the evening. You will again have an opportunity to search by your address and provide feedback in the tool at your convenience. This feedback will then be shared with the advisory committee at their meeting in November for review, while they prepare a recommendation for Superintendent Dr. Michelle Reid. 

Meeting Schedule Meetings will address changes that are specific to the two designated pyramids, so the content will vary between meetings. If you are unsure of your pyramid, you may view a list of schools within each pyramid.

Meetings will take place from 6:30 to 8 p.m. unless otherwise specified. Feel free to attend any meeting. Register by clicking “in person” or “virtual” next to your preferred event, based on how you would like to participate:
