  • Capital Improvement Program FY 2012-16
    Jack D. Dale, Superintendent FAIRFAX COUNTY 8115 Gatehouse Road PUBLIC SCHOOLS Falls Church, Virginia 22042 November 23, 2010 MEMORANDUM TO: School Board FROM: Jack D. Dale SUBJECT: FY2012-FY2016 Capital Improvement Program I am pleased to submit to you the proposed Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for the Fiscal Years 2012-2016. We project continued growth in membership and we anticipate the increasing diversity of students in Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS). FCPS has grown by nearly 11,000 students since the fall of 2006. This recent growth was an abrupt change from the flat and declining enrollment experienced in the school years prior to 2006. Although the rate of growth appears to be moderating slightly, we are projecting continued growth for the next five years and beyond. Based on our latest projections, and absent significant change in the factors influencing membership, total enrollment could reach nearly 184,900 students by the 2015-2016 school year. Growth is expected at the elementary, middle, and high school levels. Most significant is the continued growth at the kindergarten level. The surge in September 2010 kindergarten enrollment has been noted not only within FCPS but also in school districts throughout the region. Although the increase in enrollment may moderate over the next several years as economic and housing market conditions change, we project continued growth due to the large numbers of students in the early primary grades. The anticipated increases continue to present a major challenge to provide sufficient capacity in our schools in a period of diminishing fiscal resources. During the 2009-2010 school year, the first community based ad hoc planning group successfully concluded their work.

  • The Historic Roll of Honor of High School Concert Bands 1920-2007 Recognizing Historic High School Concert Bands of Very Particular Musical Excellence
    The Historic Roll of Honor of High School Concert Bands 1920-2007 Recognizing Historic High School Concert Bands of Very Particular Musical Excellence Administered by The John Philip Sousa foundation Endowed by Gladys & Al Wright The Sousa Foundation “Historic Roll of Honor of Distinguished High School Concert Bands” was researched in three phases: PHASE I (1920-1960) was chaired by Dr. Dale C. Harris and completed in 1987 following five years of review and evaluation and named 44 high school bands and 70 band directors. PHASE II (1960-1980) was chaired by Dr. Victor Zajec and was completed in 1996 following six years of review and evaluation and named 61 high school bands and 63 band directors. PHASE III (1980-1996 and continuing) consists of those high school bands and their directors who are award the “Sudler Flag of Honor” which involves a quality selection process equally rigorous as for Phases I and II. Some 24 nationally recognized band directors, most of whom directed high school bands at one time in their career, served with Dr. Harris on the selection committee which handled the research and evaluation of the bands named to the 1920-1960 Historic Roll of Honor. More than two hundred high school concert bands were reviewed in the selection process. In the same manner 18 equally qualified band directors served with Dr. Zajec in the selection process for the 1960-1980 Roll of Honor which reviewed some 320 band programs. The purpose of the project is to identify high school concert bands “which are of a particularly high standard of musical excellence at the national level and which are considered to be of historic importance and influence to the high school concert band program.” In the evaluation procedure the bands were selected as being particularly outstanding during a specific period of time and while they were under the direction of a particular conductor or conductors.
