ā€¢ FCPS finalizes school boundary recommendations ahead of public hearing (ffxnow.com) ā€” Herndon families could see significant shifts in where their kids go to school, with Coates Elementary students reassigned to Herndon Elementary and other nearby schools as part of Fairfax Countyā€™s first countywide boundary overhaul in decades. The plan eases crowding at Coates but pushes Herndon Elementary over capacity, and more changes may follow when a new western high school opens near McNair south of Herndon.

ā€¢ Political sign at Fairlington-area bakery sparks major online debate (arlnow.com) ā€” Herndonā€™s Great Harvest bakery is being explicitly distanced from a political flap at a separately owned Fairlington location, after a window sign for a conservative student club triggered online calls for boycotts and support. Fairfax County franchisees, including Herndon, stressed theyā€™re independently run, not politically affiliated, and focused on serving their communities, even as debate continues over free expression and business endorsements.
