[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not against this school at all.  Actually think it was a good purchase just rushed to open. I do think they did a disservice to that community by putting their athletics program in an awkward situation that will be tough to recover from.  There will be kids that try to attend other schools especially in the revenue type sports because Skyview will be behind.  Hopefully they hire some coaches right away so they are already in the building when the sports begin.  Would be tough get a football program started without a head coach in the building everyday.[/quote]

It will be one year. [/quote]

FCPS has not committed to this.  From the FAQs:

"Will the school have sports teams?

The new high school does not currently have all the necessary facilities for a comprehensive athletic program, so VHSL (Virginia High School League) sports and activities, such as football and basketball, will not be available for the 2026-27 school year. As a non-VHSL school in its first year, students at the new high school will be eligible to participate in VHSL sports and activities at their base school. Transportation will be provided from the new high school to base schools for practices and games.

[b]We aim to offer VHSL sports at the new high school starting in Year 2 or Year 3.[/b]"[/quote]
