| Should mcps cut funding for other sports too? Maybe all extracurriculars to save money |
| Oh, no! What happened to bocce ball?! |
Money was for covid, not sports. But you know that and are bored. |
Start with football. Too dangerous and expensive. |
Could someone explain the connection between bocce and covid money? |
MCPS got extra funding for covid related expenses. The money was supposed to be used to help with repairing/updating the schools, cleanings, staffing, helping kids who fell behind, etc. and instead they spent the money on buying bocce ball sets. |
They're mostly against the county spending money on sports that benefit disabled children. |
Here we go again! |
The county set aside a few hundred thousand to get equipment for a sport that disabled children could play but a few nutjobs are upset about it. |
THIS. Nobody is ‘mad about bocce ball’. We’re mad about MCPS misused Covid funds. Your title is misleading. |
How dare they spend money to allow disabled students to participate in a sport!!! |
They already had bocce ball in several schools. Disabled students should be able to participate in the same sports offered to all students. |
#fakenews they did not |
My kids loved bocce this past fall. Kudos to MCPS for money well spent. |
Not fake news. There have been bocce ball teams at both high schools my kids attended. (Blair and Wheaton) |
