FEC Urges School Board to Defer Vote on “Priority Schools Initiative” -- Says FCPS School Board & Public Need More Data, Details & Debate Before Voting

January 20, 2012 by Greg Brandon

Fairfax County -- Wednesday, May 19, 2010 – The Fairfax Education Coalition (FEC) said today it is strongly urging members of the Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) School Board to defer a vote on the “Priority Schools Initiative” that is currently scheduled for Thursday, May 20th as part of the FCPS FY 2011 Budget Adoption.

FEC is in agreement with the many Parent/Teacher Associations and Organizations (PTAs/PTOs), community leaders, concerned Fairfax citizens and those members of the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors who have publicly expressed concern that the proposed “Priority Schools Initiative” was proposed too late in the FY2011 FCPS budget process to receive a thorough evaluation and, therefore, a vote on the issue should be deferred until the School Board and public’s concerns are thoroughly addressed.
