Mason District Community,

On Wednesday, December 10th, FCPS staff hosted a community meeting to discuss three boundary plans. Please note these plans are not necessarily included in the Scenario 4 available in the Explore Tool. The three options are as follows:

  • Move Bren Mar Park from Holmes MS / Edison HS to Key MS / Lewis HS
  • Reduce Capacity from Parklawn ES by 98 students 
  • Reduce Capacity from Glasgow MS by 113 students  

Please provide your feedback using the Let’s Talk platform as soon as possible. Your feedback will be shared with the Superintendent’s Boundary Review Advisory Committee at their December 12 meeting and posted publicly. 

  • Please do not share specific, personal information in your feedback message (such as names, emails, home address, etc.)
  • In addition, when submitting a comment, check the box to hide your contact information. 

Following these steps will ensure that no personally identifiable information is shared with the advisory committee or the public.
