Technically, Virginia (like Maryland) does not have "school districts" in the traditional sense, but school divisions that are governed by the county, city, or other geographic division. In the case of Virginia, the school division that holds those 17 schools, Fairfax County Public Schools, serves an area with a population around 1.1 million. It's still impressive that 17 schools came from it, as there are 25 high and secondary schools part of FCPS.

It's worth noting that Virginia appears to have open regionals, as teams from FCPS appeared at multiple regional tournaments. This is likely contributing to the geographic skew. This is a case where I believe open regionals may be actively holding back Virginia's potential for expansion into less-served areas of the state.

I'm so excited for this season. Practices start next week, and I'm eager to get to work. I've missed Science Olympiad so much, and I couldn't be happier to be back on the team!
