[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pretty much all of my kids friends spend at least 1 day, if not 2, in the after school programs at the MS. I know DC attends two days a week. Many of his friends did the cross country in the fall and will do track in the spring. I am not sure if those count into the tally or not, but I have to believe that the cross country/track programs are bigger then the numbers reported above.

DC will end up with around 80 days at afterschool activities this year at Carson. Obviously, that doesn't include the events on the weekends that his club has participated in. It has been a great experience for him and his friends. [/quote]

The way they are trying to skew the participation numbers means they are subtracting the kids who did FCPS sponsored after school track from the MSAS participation. [/quote]

Of course- they are separate programs funded by separate pots of money. The question here is whether the county should continue spending $4 million each year on this program which not many kids use that often.[/quote]
