Class 4, Region B will have more time to try to come up with a solution for its 20-school logjam when the Virginia High School League’s new alignment takes effect for the 2021-22 and 2022-23 seasons.
At its final alignment meeting on Wednesday, the VHSL’s executive committee granted the region a delay,
likely until the committee meets in February.
“This will allow us to explore, among all four regions [in Class 4], some different scenarios,” said Region 4B chairman Bill Swink, the activities director at Spotsylvania High School.
The region includes Richmond-area schools, along with schools in the Fredericksburg and Charlottesville areas.
Adjustments to the VHSL’s four-year classification plan created the overcrowded region. After two years – in 2021-22 – schools can move up or down in one of the six classifications (Class 6 is for the highest enrollments) as enrollments change. Each class is divided into four regions.
