Judge Claude M. Hilton said switching to a new admissions cycle for the Class of 2026 — which is already well into the application process — will cause only 'some minor inconvenience.'
The stay, if granted, would have allowed the school district of 180,000 to proceed with the current admissions system — a “holistic review” process that takes into account factors such as students’ socioeconomic status — for applicants to the Class of 2026. The TJ admissions cycle for these students is “already well underway,” Fairfax School Board Chair Stella Pekarsky , and U.S. District Judge Claude M. Hilton’s failure to grant a stay would cause “distress and uncertainty” for these students.
Asked Friday what Fairfax will do regarding the current group of TJ applicants, schools spokeswoman Julie Moult said, “On that specific point, we are looking at options and would hope to have some clarity soon.” Hilton was ruling as part of a parent-brought lawsuit challenging the school system’s changes to TJ admissions, which were enacted in 2020 in the hopes of boosting diversity at the school. The school is often ranked the no. 1 public high school in the nation but has historically enrolled single-digit percentages of Black and Hispanic students.
Erin E. Wilcox, representing the Coalition for TJ, said in court that if the school board was struggling now it was because they “ignored this court’s warning” six months ago that an alternative might be necessary.
