• Fairfax County Schools

It is, once again, budget-reduction time for Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS). Bureaucrats, bloated with six-figure salaries, sharpen their dull fiduciary axes, preparing to lop off every visible monetary appendage. According to the FCPS Vision and Mission Statement, the schools exist "to provide a gifted-quality education to every child in an instructional setting appropriate for his or her need... [and]. to educate all students to meet high academic standards and to prepare all students to be responsible citizens in the 21st century.
