Will FCPS honor field permits for outside groups?

[Anonymous]

With the decision made that school will be 100% virtual, will the county still honor permits they've already given to outside groups - soccer teams, track clubs, etc.? Would they decide that school isn't safe but a sport is?

Well, they are allowing for permits now. Our rec league uses them and has plans to continue doing so. Why would that change?

Oh I’m sure they’ll cancel it despite:

If they allow field permits for outside groups, there is no reason why they shouldn't allow PE classes and sports teams to happen on campus.

Outside groups are just using the outside fields and not the inside of the building where the virus can be spread with more ease.

"Competition that involves close contact with other athletes should be avoided"

County will probably close fields to permitted use based on that.

Are the permits free or do the sports clubs pay the county a fee to use the fields? If the county is getting revenue, I think they will be less inclined to cancel permits.

PE Classes and school sports teams could happen in 2 hour blocks 2-3 days a week where students come, do PE or sports and leave without changing or going into a building.

Sports clubs pay a fee. It is called the Kiddie Tax.
