Fairfax County Public Schools Announces Meeting Dates for Annandale Regional Planning Study Committee

Fairfax County Public Schools has released the schedule of meeting dates for the Annandale Regional Planning Study Committee.  Each of the meetings will be on Wednesdays from 7 to 9 p.m. at Annandale High School.

There will be a total of six meetings, and all are open to the public. The next meeting is Sept. 29 in the cafeteria close to entrance no. 7 of the high school.

The committee will host two meetings in October (on Oct. 13 and Oct. 27) in the lecture hall near entrance no. 1. The only meeting in November will be on Nov. 10 in the cafeteria. The final meetings for the year will be on Dec. 1 and Dec. 15 in the lecture hall.

The Fairfax County School Board approved the creation of two ad hoc committees for the Annandale Regional Planning Study to try to find solutions to the issue of overcrowding at middle and high schools in the Annandale cluster. The committee will also consider the issue of whether the new elementary school scheduled to be built on the former Lacey site at 3705 Crest Drive in Annandale should be for students in grades K-5 or K-6.

In addition to Annandale High School, the committee is considering other schools in the region such as Annandale Terrace Elementary School, Beech Tree Elementary School, Woodburn Elementary School, and Westlawn Elementary School.
