Report: Base realignment would add only 50 students to Fairfax

A study unveiled Wednesday sharply challenges the notion that Fort Belvoir’s worker influx will put thousands of new students in Fairfax County schools.

The number of new students will be only 50, far fewer than the 3,200 that Army planners first laid out in environmental studies, according to the document, which was drafted jointly by George Mason University’s Center for Regional Analysis and the Center for Regional Economic Competitiveness.
