I don't think the county funds the busses, that comes out of the FCPS budget. This is just for the programs themselves. |
No, this is NOT related to the start times. This is the COUNTY budget, not the school system budget. Two separate budgets. |
I think the teachers that run these clubs get paid extra, so some teachers will actually be losing pay because of this. I guess you don't are about that though. |
This is a Board of Supervisors decision, not Reid. |
There is a separate thread about start times, this is about middle school after school programs. |
We know but we are guessing there is a link between the coincidental cutting of the after school programs and the wanting to make middle school go until 4:40 pm. |
Why are today’s 12-15yo kids less capable of being allowed to get out at 2:30 than GenX at the same age? And don’t even start with the nonsense that moms were home. We were the latchkey kids. |
Public schools are “meant to” provide education, which they are doing during school hours. After school extras are not their responsibility. |
Having looked at the cuts, I guess I should be more informed about what are spending $ on. I am surprised at the cuts to middle school, the HS crossing guards, the car seat inspections, the fire station cuts to personnel and more. |
A Covid memorial! What a load of garbage. Nobody wants to remember Covid, least of all the people who lived through that poorly handled pandemic. Who elected these people? They should all be fired next election.
How about rather than creating crappy Covid memorials, we focus on the children who are living? |
Gen X latchkey here. It was a terrible experience which I wouldn’t recommend for any MS child. |
There are no local shopping centers near our MS. |
They can't afford afterschool programs but are building....a covid memorial? Is this real? |
Some MS programs aren’t that great, like D&D. |
Since there won't be at school, they will be home and near shopping centers. 5hats the issue. |
