Keep Rockledge families at Rockledge! 70% to 50% relocation is unacceptable!

The Prince William County School Board is currently considering a drastic rezoning proposal of the Occoquan School District that will effectively end the school community concept. Rockledge Elementary School will be the hardest hit with a 70% to 50% change in student population. In other words, when Rockledge students leave for the summer, 7 out of 10 kids will not be returning. The ones that return will find their friends gone. Some of these children live so close to Rockledge that they walk to school and now they will become bus riders, adding to the already congested traffic of Old Bridge Rd. The new students will also have to be bus to Rockledge, adding even more traffic to Old Bridge Rd at the most congested times. Many homeowners that purposely bought houses near Rockledge are now finding themselves betrayed by our elected officials.

Let's send a message to our elected officials, our children are not numbers in a spreadsheet.

The Rockledge Community deserve better!
