My kids -thank the dear Lord - got out of Fairfax County Public Schools more than 10 years ago when it was still reputable!
Apparently this is in response to pressure from DoE which threatened to withhold funding. For the lousy 6% the feds contribute to the $1B+ FCPS budget, it seems hardly worth it. That is to say, when the county was still more red than blue.

As a long time resident of FFX county, the changes are extraordinary.
The culture clash that once existed between VA and MD is all but gone.
I have it, and suppose that you do as well, but have been over run in Alex/Arl, with a younger crowd that is either part of the Government or trusts them.
There’s something new regarding the “Beltway Bandits” that we are all to familiar with. They are still the same “Bandits” but their “foot soldiers” are much younger.
Much more detached and wholly arrogant with no substance.
