I think I missed this email.
Me too.
Was it one of those emails where it's 99% fluff and self-congratulations with like 4 sentences of actual helpful informative info buried deep?
LOL most likely

Whats a region? What’s a pyramid? What’s the name of the FCPS document that explains why regions and pyramids exist?

New Region 6 would be Annandale, Edison, Justice, Lewis, and TJHSST.
Having five HS in new Region 6 would recognize that TJ is a school, not a pyramid with feeder ES and MS, and would also enable the regional administrators to focus on preparing more students in the pyramids closest to TJ to compete successfully for admission to TJ.
This makes zero sense.
Move Edison to Region 3 and West Springfield to new Region 6 and it should work.
That makes even less sense.
LB/Robinson/WSHS/SoCo are all clustered together geographically and have overlapping communities. They are are also very similar schools with similar needs.
Add Centerville to that mix of schools.
If you are going to have 6 regions it doesn’t make sense to have one with five pyramids that include three of the biggest high/secondary schools in the county.
Try again.

I am old enough to remember when it used to be 4 "areas" back in the 90s.
How many students are there now?

But they haven’t announced yet which schools will be in new Region 6 or whether other schools will be new moved to new regions - hence the speculation.

The regions aren’t going to be in numeric order across the region.
And they may be doing the same with region 3 next year and make a 7th region.

If the above is true about Region 2 splitting, every other region will stay the same but the 39k in Region 2 would be split into roughly 20k and 20k.

Is it any wonder that students and teachers are leaving FCPS.
It's a cost-neutral move.
Really, more work out of Gatehouse without more spending. It’s a miracle!
