At 10 a.m. Friday Oct. 7, Patch will host a livechat about the survey "Preparing Our Children For The Future," an online forum lIt asks community members — including those without children but whose taxes still go toward the school system — "What is the most important thing Fairfax County Public Schools should do to move it forward to prepare our children for the future?"

Panelists include Barbara Hunter, assistant superintendent for communications and community outreach for FCPS, and Greg Brandon, corresponding secretary for the Fairfax County Council of PTAs, Web Editor for the Fairfax Education Coalition and former at-large school board candidate.

The panelists will talk about how the survey works, its reach, the issues involved and next steps. During the chat, readers can also submit questions live. If you can't make the chat, email erica.hendry at patch.com with a question, or, leave it in the comments below.
