[quote=Anonymous]In light of the budget crisis, I ask, why doesn't FCPS just dump extracurricular sports altogether? I realize this would enrage parents, but frankly, we are guaranteed a free public education, not free extracurricular sports. (And yes, I know parents pay bills, raise money, etc for sports). It doesn't serve the core academic purpose of the school system. It costs a lot of money in personnel, facilities, equipment, bussing. And lord knows there are TONS of opportunities for sports in this area. It's not like the only place you can play lacrosse, swim, or cheer is at school... Tell me why this isn't a plausible idea![/quote]
