The 10th largest school system in the country, Fairfax County Public Schools has 23,000 employees, serves 186,000 students, and 195 schools and centers. Beginning in late 2015 FCPS set out to replace the 200 individually managed websites with a single platform that would increase the quality, consistency, and management efficiency for those 200 websites. A year and half later and FCPS is now runs it's ecosystem of websites on a Drupal 8 platform.

In this session we'll have a candid conversation with the team responsible for making it happen about what worked, what didn't, and what it's like using Drupal 8 as platform for a large ecosystem of websites.
