Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) could see changes to the boundaries of the district — but no decisions have been made as of yet. The Fairfax County School Board (FCSB) is making changes to the boundary policy, which determines exactly how the board can change the boundaries themselves.

FCSB held public meetings about boundaries and what could be different should the board move forward with implementing changes September 13, 14, and 21. In the webinar held September 14, Michael Raisor, the senior vice president of the education solutions group at MGT Consulting, led the discussion. 

“A boundary is where there is a line that says if you live on one side of the line, you go to one school, if you live on the other side of the line, you go to another school, and the state of Virginia gives school boards that authority just as they have given the Fairfax County School Board that authority,” he said. Raisor noted multiple reasons why Fairfax County could see a boundary shift.
