Stafford, Va. -- There won’t be an influx of new students and traffic because of BRAC in Prince William and Stafford counties.
That’s the word from Stafford’s BRAC (Base Realignment and Closure) Coordinator Tom Ramora, who said many of the 2,000 federal workers that were supposed to transfer to Quanitco for the move have already done so, and despite fears of major traffic congestion, conditions hasn't gotten worse.
"There appears to be no data to suggest that massive numbers of school children are entering [the Prince William and Stafford] school districts,” said Ramora. The reason: many federal employees affected by BRAC chose not to move as far south as Prince William and Stafford opting to stay in more urbanized areas. Others already live in rural areas and decided not to move to the suburban Potomac Communities.
