[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Covid memorial doesn’t come from the county budget. It’s McKay’s discretionary fund.

The After-School program has way fewer regular users than I thought based on the outcry here. Maybe it’s okay to cut it.

Lots of details on both of these issues on the county’s budget question page. https://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/budget/sites/budget/files/Assets/Documents/fy2026/QA/FY_2026_QA.pdf[/quote]

Thanks for posting the link.  It has the level of information that should be on the FCPS program budget. Utilization by students should also have per school during SY2023-24:

1-9 days		12,000
10-19 days		4,732
20-29 days		2,716
30-59 days		3,496
60 - 89 days		783
90+ days		157

Total users for the BOS was 23894.  75% of students used it zero to 19 days.  FCPS program budget states 27757.  FCPS program budget often includes all students NOT program actual users like for IB goal of diploma candidates. What the county would be cutting is paying the salary and benefits for FCPS to have 1 staff per school plus 1 at Gatehouse.  Gatehouse + 6 regions should be capable of coordinating all schools afterschool programming and paying a stipend to a school based staffer.

The late busses would still run and some schools are on a 3 day late bus schedule. [/b]
