FACE (SCHOOL ORCHESTRA/BAND FUNDING) ALERT!!
There is a real sense that the Board of Supervisors will act soon to
cut funding to our school music programs, effectively decimating our
prized FCPS band and orchestra programs!!! Please see the
Budget Alert
Feb 28 Update. Bottom line: We have until March 9 to convince
the Board of Supervisors that they need to properly fund FCPS!
Please take the steps urged to communicate the value of these
programs to the BOS before it's too late.
