Save the existing Timberlane/Longfellow/McLean School Boundaries!

On May 15, 2025, the Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) Boundary Committee released three proposed boundary adjustments via their Scenario Explorer Tool. All three scenarios would shift students from a Timber Lane Elementary /Longfellow Middle School /McLean High School Pyramid to a Timber Lane Elementary/Luther Jackson Middle School/Falls Church High School Pyramid.

These proposed changes would pull children from their established school communities, significantly reduce property values (estimated up to a 20% drop!), and overturn over 40 years of existing boundaries.

The affected families do not support this boundary change.

The community is beginning to organize – flyers, lawn signs, meetings with school board, drafting arguments, raising funds, etc. We can use any expertise/contacts in policy, local media, local lobbying, etc. Please join the Facebook Group for the latest news and to contribute ideas / provide help.
