Dear Dranesville Families:

I want to update you on the status of Boundary Policy 8130 work.

Since February, the Governance Committee has been reviewing potential changes to the policy, and on June 18, 2024, the Governance Committee voted to send their draft to the full School Board. On June 25, 2024, the School Board held a Work Session to consider the Governance Committee draft policy and advanced the draft policy It was placed on New Business last night, June 27, 2024. Formal School Board Action on this policy amendment is scheduled for July 18, 2024.

The next steps are:

  • The Governance Committee will meet on July 1, 2024, to consider any additional updates to the draft policy.
  • If the Governance Committee makes any changes to the draft policy,
    • the new version of the draft policy will be noticed as New Business and attached to the July 11, 2024, Regular Meeting agenda.
  • Formal School Board Action on this policy amendment is scheduled for July 18, 2024.
