“Currently, there are 59 students with recovery services on their current IEP.”

~Molly Shannon, Fairfax County Public Schools FOIA Officer

There are “59 students with recovery services on their current IEP” in Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS).

That’s not a typo.

Fifty-nine (59) students out of FCPS’s over one hundred eighty thousand (180,000+) students have recovery services in their IEPs.

That’s it. Not 59% or 590, or any other variation one’s mind might jump to after reading the number “59” and thinking it must be a typo.

Nope. It’s real.

This bit of jaw-dropping data arrived late today, courtesy of FCPS’s FOIA Officer Molly Shannon—after weeks of going back and forth with her, trying to obtain updated data related to the Office of Civil Rights (OCR) investigation into FCPS.
