Letter From the President Regarding the FCPS Budget |
|
Dear Louise Archer families,
As your PTA we wanted to make sure you were aware of some of the opportunities you have to learn more about this year’s Fairfax County Public School’s budget challenges. Superintendent Dale presented his recommendations for the FCPS FY 2011 Budget on January 7, 2010. The message is very clear, there will be cuts, which will impact all schools to varying levels throughout the county. At Louise Archer, we will have larger class sizes in the next school year.
