How to Participate in FCPS School Board Meetings 

Fairfax County and city residents, FCPS staff, FCPS students, FCPS guardians who are non-Fairfax County residents, and FCPS business partners who want to address the Board may register to speak by submitting a request online at 6 a.m. starting on the fourth business day before the next regular business meeting.

At the time of registration, speakers must identify whether they wish to testify in-person, virtually, or submit a pre-recorded video testimony.  Once an option is selected, this choice cannot be changed.  Registration will close 48 hours before the meeting.

The School Board office can be reached by phone at 571-423-1075 between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.

There are a total of 16 speaker slots per regular meeting:

• 10 slots are filled by speakers who choose to address the Board in-person or virtually.
• 3 of the in-person or virtual slots are reserved for current FCPS students
• 3 slots are reserved for video testimony

After the first 13 in-person or virtual speakers are determined through a random/lottery process, the next ten names as determined by the same random/lottery will be chosen as the waitlist and are notified that they are on the waitlist to speak.

Waitlist speakers must be present at the meeting to speak at the event of a no show.

Speaker substitutions are not permitted.  A speaker may not yield their time to another individual before or during their remarks.
