Fairfax County Public Schools: How New Fairfax County Magisterial Districts Affect Schools

Press release from Fairfax County Public Schools:

December 13, 2021

On December 7, 2021, the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors adopted its redistricting plan that maintains nine election districts, but shifts seven precincts to new districts, in whole or in part. Redistricting does not change school boundaries, but may change the School Board Member representing a school. Schools that are affected by redistricting include: 

Please note, while these new districts are effective immediately, they are subject to certification by the Virginia Attorney General under state law. This process could take up to 60 days.
