Fairfax County elementary schools

Per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Clifton Elementary School (Clifton, Virginia), a new article Fairfax County elementary schools has been created and all FCPS elementary school articles should be merged there. —Quarl ^(talk) 2007-02-17 21:07Z

Former Schools

I am pretty sure that the Greenspring Retirement community in Springfield was a former elementary school.

Gatehouse Administration Building photograph

Regarding the Gatehouse Administration Building photograph being wanted in this article; I want to help out this article soon by going to the Gatehouse Administration Building sometime soon and taking a photograph of its exterior to improve this article. As soon as I take it, I'll upload it to Wikimedia Commons and then edit this article to include the image of it.

New mask mandate lawsuit

Very recently, FCPS has filed a lawsuit against the State of Virginia over the unconstitutionality of the mask mandate ban based on the rules created for how much control the government has over FCPS. This is a pretty important lawsuit for FCPS because, if won, it could inspire other groups. It could very easily set a precedent. While this is technically speculation, I feel it has enough basis to be added based on the inclusion of many other lawsuits of very similar natures and scope concerning COVID-19, especially those involving the controversy of mask/vaccine mandates in other articles. If the lawsuit does nothing and goes nowhere, it can always be removed. Any opinions? General Kipicus (talk) 18:36, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Fcps in the 21st century

Why is there nothing mentioning anything about what happened in the school district in the past 5 years. Example: Thomas Jefferson high school being investigated by state government, mask mandates, kindergartener shooting his teacher as that happened in a fcps school Rabbipika (talk) 16:43, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
