[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]More money is not the answer.  FCPS got a huge influx of cash from the Covid funds and they are getting worse every day.  I voted for the meals tax but am happy now that it did not pass.  [/quote]

Covid funds couldn’t be used for recurring expenses like teacher raised because they expire.[/quote]
