[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]An idea mentioned a couple months ago from another thread was to allow parents full rights to transfer to any school in their region as they wish. Perhaps each region could have a designated Academy, a designated IB school, a designated language immersion pyramid, etc. That would give some meaningful use to regions. Otherwise regions really have no practical use for the community, it's only an administrative tool.[/quote]

Pyramids and regions (or, before that, clusters) within FCPS have always existed for administrative purposes, not to benefit families (except to the extent they suggest particular Gatehouse-based rather than school-based administrators to call with concerns).  For example, you can be at an ES in the Madison pyramid, but your kid can be zoned for a MS and HS in the Marshall pyramid.

That’s unlike to change with six regions rather than five. FCPS doesn’t really want the regions to function as districts within the district, and certain programs- especially IB - are concentrated in certain parts of the county. But it was odd to have Region 2 with six high schools and Region 5 with only four. [/quote]
