The Falls Church City School Board is composed of seven members who serve four-year terms. A student representative joins the Board at all public meetings and participates in discussions, but does not vote.

The Falls Church City School Board is charged by the statutes of Virginia and the regulations of the Virginia Board of Education with providing and operating the public schools for the City of Falls Church. It is the function of the Board to set general school policy and, within the framework of State Board regulations, to establish policies that will ensure the proper administration of the school program.

The board's primary responsibilities are:

• to set policy for the school division

• approve the annual budget

• develop a strategic plan, and

• hire a superintendent to operate the school division in accordance with board policy.

Regular Meetings of the Falls Church City School Board are generally held on the second Tuesday of each month at 7:00 p.m. at City Hall (300 Park Avenue)

Work Sessions are generally held on the fourth Tuesday of each month at 7:00 p.m. at FCCPS Central Office (150 S. Washington Street, Suite 400).

Regular Meetings and Work Sessions can be viewed on the FCCPS YouTube channel at www.YouTube.com/@fccpsorg/streams.

Members of the community are invited and encouraged to attend meetings of the Falls Church City School Board to observe its deliberations. The public may comment in person at the School Board’s Regular Meetings. Speaker slips are available for the public at the meeting site and should be completed and handed to the School Board Clerk prior to the start of the meeting. The speaker should clearly state their name, address, and the subject of their remarks. Members of the public are invited to speak by the School Board Chair in the order that the speaker slips are received. Per Policy BDDH, each speaker is limited to three minutes.

Written public comments may be submitted to the School Board Clerk at publiccomment@fccps.org.

To contact the entire School Board and district leadership (Superintendent, School Board Clerk, Director of Communications, and School Board Counsel), outside of a public meeting, please email schoolboard@fccps.org. 

To email individual School Board members and/or the Superintendent, please see their contact information listed below. Please note that while these messages will not be posted online to BoardDocs, they are still considered public and are subject to the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).

The Chair and Vice Chair hold monthly Office Hours in the community. Parents, students, teachers, staff, and community members may drop by (no registration required) to ask questions and offer feedback in a casual environment. This is not a private setting. Community members who prefer to have a private exchange with the School Board should contact the members via email to set up a meeting.
