FCPS School Boundaries Changes Timeline
School Board Policy 8130 requires that a comprehensive, division-wide review of school boundaries be conducted at least every five years by the Division Superintendent, and that any recommended adjustments be submitted to the School Board for approval.
Through the process FCPS has conducted extensive community engagement as required by Policy 8130. The process also included feedback from the Superintendent’s Boundary Review Advisory Committee, as directed by the School Board.
Community meetings were held in Fall 2024/Winter 2025 as part of Phase 1 to inform data analysis and draft scenarios. Community meetings were also held in Spring and Fall 2025 for Phase 2 to collect feedback on the draft scenarios and to inform the development of a final recommendation.
The Superintendent’s recommendation was informed by feedback received throughout the comprehensive boundary review process from the community, the consultant, staff and the Superintendent’s Boundary Review Advisory Committee.
During this process, the School Board was provided updates at four Work Sessions (10/8/24, 6/17/25, 8/26/25, and 11/12/25). The School Board also modified Section VII, “Phasing of Adjustments” of Policy 8130, on 7/17/25.
