It seems that talks and proposals of re-alignments and creating more classifications for schools competing in the Virginia High School League has been on the table for years, but no changes have been made to date. The latest plan is to go from the current three classifications which has existed since 1970 and double to a new six class system starting in the 2013-2014 school year. The VHSL's executive committee will vote on the proposal on February 22nd with the final approval vote coming in April. In this new proposal, districts could include schools from different classifications (but no gap more than 3 classifications apart). Essentially, a 6A school could be in the same district as 3A schools but no 2A schools. Regional playoffs or qualifiers would be eliminated for a new qualification system to the state championships. It is not certain what the new qualification system would mean for cross country and track & field in a new 6 class system. Another previous proposal had mentioned sectional qualifiers instead of regional qualifier meets, which would not necessarily include schools who geographically match and more spread out based on enrollment and classification.
