Falls Church City Public Schools and the Extended Daycare Program will be closed on Tuesday, January 16th. We're expecting another 3 inches of snow tonight, and it's going to stay pretty chilly - below freezing for the next day or so. Stay warm and safe out there!
During its annual Organizational Meeting tonight, the Falls Church School Board unanimously elected Dr. Tate Gould as its Chair and Kathleen Tysse as the Vice-Chair for the 2024 term. While school instructional years operate on a July to June calendar, the School Board follows a calendar year schedule, primarily because school board elections occur every two years in November.
The Falls Church School Board will hold its annual Organizational Meeting tonight to elect new leadership for the coming year and its regular monthly meeting. The meeting begins at 7 p.m. Watch live on YouTube - www.YouTube.com/@fccpsorg/streams
