Boundary Review Update and October Meetings

Dear Sully District Families and Community Members,

We’re in the midst of an important boundary review, and we want to keep you in the loop. Below you’ll find:

  • A look at Scenario 4 (the current draft map under consideration)
  • A schedule of upcoming meetings where you can learn more and share feedback

Your voice matters in shaping our schools’ boundaries. Please take a look and join us.

In partnership,

Seema Dixit

Sully District School Board Member


Boundary Scenario 4

Fairfax County Public Schools is considering Scenario 4 as the current draft for the 2024–2026 boundary review. This scenario is shaped by community feedback and refinement of earlier proposals (Scenarios 1–3).

Key points about Scenario 4:

  • It combines strategies from earlier scenarios—addressing overcrowding, adjusting feeder patterns, and fixing attendance “islands”—while seeking to reflect community priorities.

  • Under this draft, schools with serious overcrowding are targeted to be brought down closer to 105% capacity or lower.

  • Adjustments are intended to preserve neighborhood cohesion (keeping “Student Planning Areas” intact) and reduce split feeders when possible. 

  • The public can view Scenario 4 in the Boundary Explorer Tool, compare it to existing and alternate scenarios, and submit feedback. 

  • The comment window is open through November 14. All input will be reviewed by the Superintendent’s Boundary Review Advisory Committee before final recommendations.


Upcoming Community Meeting Schedule 

🔜 Next Steps

  • November 2025 – Advisory Committee reviews community feedback.

  • January 2026 – Superintendent presents recommendations and an implementation plan to the School Board.
