Hello, Springfield District,

I want to share with you some important and timely information!

The Superintendent’s Comprehensive Boundary Review has entered Phase 2 (Part 2) with community meetings for each pyramid. The meetings occurring this month will include the consultant’s presentation of the latest draft boundary map (Scenario 4) and allow for questions from the attendees. There will also be a way to provide feedback on this scenario.

There will be a total of 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. The consultant will present the latest draft map and changes specific to the two pyramids. We will also take questions. Please note that the first meeting kicks off tonight, Monday, October 13, at 6:30 p.m. at Robinson Secondary School for the Centreville and Robinson pyramids. Find more information below.

I know that many of you were anxiously awaiting the release of the maps that were anticipated late last week. There was a delay in getting the Boundary Review Explorer Tool posted as promised. The current draft map, Scenario 4, for the Boundary Explorer Tool is now available. I appreciate your patience while our team addressed back-end technical issues. They're still making minor refinements to a few areas, and I encourage you to review and provide your feedback on this new draft.

Also, I know many families in Fairfax County are directly impacted by the government shutdown. If your family has been impacted, Fairfax County Public Schools is ready to support you! Be sure to view resources families may access during this period. I hope things are resolved as quickly as possible.

I will be in touch soon!

Sandy
