[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think people are confused. NCS, which runs SACC, has basically a teen version of SACC at some sites. That’s what’s being proposed to be cut because the [b]middle school clubs/sports[/b] serves that purpose. This is the program being referenced: https://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/neighborhood-community-services/afterschool-programs[/quote] No one is confused here. The link you referenced points to MSAS which is being cut in its entirety. The FC budget includes it in reductions under NCS (neighborhood and community services). [b]This program is the entirety of middle school school clubs.[/b] There is one sport - track/cross country - that is not included in MSAS. [/quote] If the bolded is accurate, please explain why the proposed budget doc states "[b]FCPS has been expanding its offering of after-school programs[/b], including clubs, activities and school sports, outside of MSAS program that could offer viable alternatives for teens to participate in structured and safe activities." Please explain like I'm five. Thank you. https://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/budget/sites/budget/files/Assets/documents/fy2026/advertised/volume1/79.pdf[/quote] This is misleading on the part of the Board of Supervisors. FCPS has expanded to one track and field program. That's it. Anything else varies by school and isn't guaranteed year to year. The MSAS provides the vast majority of after school activities. These programs also provide teachers with extra income.[/quote]
