According to this TJHSST bulletin, the School Board approved the changes to the TJ Admissions policy.
Please contact your policymakers directly to voice your opinion of this plan.
Here is an excerpt from the bulletin:
The Fairfax County School Board recently approved changes to the TJHSST admissions process. Starting with the next admission cycle for the Class of 2025 entering in the fall of 2021, the application fee has been eliminated along with the admissions standardized tests. In several weeks, Dr. Brabrand will return to the school board with updated information about the revised merit lottery proposal currently on the table for consideration.
Thanks to many in our community who have been actively involved in a variety of engagement sessions such as town halls, listening forums, and school board meetings. Continue to stay tuned for possible opportunities in the coming weeks. You may continue to submit feedback to school board members and FCPS leadership at tjcomments@fcps.edu.
