[quote=Anonymous]A doc titled Regulation 3355.16 Special Programs and dated May 2022 [i](found via FCPS's TJHSST admissions website: https://go.boarddocs.com/vsba/fairfax/Board.nsf/files/CEHHLJ490428/$file/R3355.pdf)[/i] states that...

"Each public school within Fairfax County and each cooperating school division will be presumptively allocated a number of seats equal to 1.5% of that school’s 8th grade student population (“Allocated Seats”)."

I'm assuming Loudoun County (LC) and Prince William County (PWC) are both "cooperating school divisions." But elsewhere I've read that LC decides and votes on the number of seats they'll pay for at TJHSST each year for LC's students. If that number is lower than 1.5% of each of LC's middle school's 8th grade population, then that would mean that it would not be possible for TJHSST to accept 1.5% of each LC's middle school's 8th grade population (assuming that at least that many qualify and apply).

I've also heard that the 1.5% allocation is for the entire county of Loudoun, not per school, which would mean that, technically, the entire 1.5% for Loudoun County could come from just one Loudoun County middle school. But that doesn't sound right.

Can someone please help clarify these points? Thanks!
