[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP what you are demanding is the county work harder to subsidize your competitive gymnastics team.   I mean cmon.  I don’t want them spending their time doing that as a taxpayer.

DPR's time is compensated by the fees they earn from rec classes. If they aren't doing their job and they keep cutting offerings year over year, then revenue keeps dropping year over year, resulting in cuts year over year. This year it's gymnastics. Next year it could be swim or senior programs or teen programs.  It's a downward spiral. There's no reason the gymnastics program can't be self-supporting and offer gymnastics to a wide range of kids and adults in Arlington.[/quote]

Well they said there is a reason. they can’t hire qualified people to teach this activity safely and they said other activities they’ve been able to bounce back and hire people.  They mentioned life guards.

I think a disconnect is perhaps their standards of who to hire don’t match what you all find acceptable.  I guess it’s their gym and they should figure out what risk they can tolerate.[/quote]
