FCPS Facility Planning Council to Discuss Capacity and Facility Issues

City of Fairfax residents and parents are encouraged to join City of Fairfax School Board members to voice concerns over capacity issues.

Tuesday, May 22
Robinson Secondary School
Blue Cafeteria
7:00 PM

Fairfax County Public Schools’ (FCPS) citizen advisory group — the Planning Advisory Council (FPAC) will be hosting at meeting on Tuesday, May 22nd to discuss facility and capacity issues. The primary mission of this council is to advise and inform the Fairfax County School Board and staff in the development of comprehensive, long-term plans for facilities needs in the most effective and efficient way. The City of Fairfax School Board has appointed Allen Griffith, a former City school board member as our representative on this council.

The City School Board is concerned about capacity issues at all of our schools, and especially concerned about overcrowding at Providence, Lanier and Fairfax High School where future student enrollments are projected to be well over the buildings’ capacities. We are working with FCPS on both short and long-term solutions. We would like you to know there is a place for you to make your voice heard about your questions regarding facilities and overcrowding.

FPAC is holding a series of meetings to solicit community input regarding all FCPS facilities — including city owned buildings. We encourage parents from all of our pyramid schools to attend the FPAC meeting on May 22nd at Robinson Secondary to listen to committee representatives and voice concerns. If you cannot attend the meeting, FCPS has created a blog for comments and suggestions.
