The boundary adjustment, proposed by Mason District school board member Ricardy Anderson, would address Parklawn’s current and projected capacity deficit, enrollment growth, and the number of temporary classrooms.
Parklawn Elementary School has 949 students. The school is at 99 percent capacity utilization and is projected to be at 104 percent in the 2029-30 school year. Parklawn has 19 temporary classrooms and a 10-classroom modular building.
On a separate track, FCPS has hired a consultant to conduct a district-wide boundary study.
