Dear Parents and Caregivers,

Thank you to everyone who attended the community meetings about the proposed boundary adjustment for the elementary schools in the Justice High School pyramid.

Fairfax County Public Schools is working to address overcrowding in some of the elementary schools in the Justice High School pyramid. To reduce overcrowding, adjustments are made to school boundaries by assigning some students to different schools that have more room.

Information about the proposed boundary adjustment was presented at community meetings in March and April. Feedback was collected and was used to create the boundary adjustment options that would be considered.

On Thursday, May 20 at 7:00 p.m., the Superintendent will make a recommendation to the Fairfax County School Board to approve a boundary adjustment for the elementary schools in the Justice pyramid. The recommendation will be presented as new business. No vote will take place at this meeting.

On Tuesday, June 8 at 6:00 p.m., the School Board will hold a public hearing. Students, parents, staff and the community are invited to sign up to speak about the recommended boundary adjustment. The public hearing will take place at Jackson Middle School, 3020 Gallows Road, Falls Church, VA 22042. Sign up to speak.

The School Board will take action and vote on the proposal at its regular meeting scheduled on Thursday, June 17 at 7:00 p.m.

For more information about the proposal, please visit Proposed Boundary Adjustment for Elementary Schools in the Justice Pyramid. 

As a reminder, any approved boundary adjustment related to the elementary schools will not change the middle or high school boundaries.

Sincerely,

Fabio Zuluaga

Region 2 Assistant Superintendent
