Some Fairfax County (web|news) parents are suing the school board in an effort to reverse the board's decision to reroute thousands of students among five high schools.
The lawsuit claims the school board failed to gather adequate citizen input on which neighborhoods would be considered in the boundary study, that the decision doesn't improve the affected schools, and that the board overstepped its authority in considering socioeconomic factors in the decision.
Fairfax schools spokesman Paul Regnier said he wouldn't comment on pending litigation.
The school board's plan affects neighborhoods in Reston, Chantilly, Oakton and Vienna.
