📰 News we're reading

• FCPS finalizes school boundary recommendations ahead of public hearing (ffxnow.com) — Fairfax County Public Schools’ sweeping boundary overhaul could shift more than 2,000 students, but planned changes for Bull Run Elementary in Centreville are on hold while a new western high school near McNair is studied. Centreville families should still watch this process closely, since future reviews could revisit Bull Run and nearby neighborhoods once the new school’s impact on enrollment is clear.
