[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Big changes like that should happen with more than a couple of months notice. 
[/quote] And with actual information. The county manager hasn't provided any of the cost, fee or utilization information.  Even the county board is absolutely no information on which to make this decision. Yet the Barcroft gymnastics coaches and staff all got termination notices yesterday.  That's not okay.[/quote]

The lack of data or information plus the sudden decision is the worst part of all this. How can the county recommend elimination of a 50 year old program with no reports or studies to point to? Did they consider any alternatives, such as increasing costs or keeping rec programs as county-run and breaking off the competitive club team (maybe converting that into its own non-profit that leases space for the county)? Seems there are feasible alternatives to this proposed sudden complete termination. Also, I know GWU’s college team uses Barcroft for their practices (presumably they pay the county for use of the space).
