School Board Meeting tonight in Falls Church

This is technically not a children's event but it does affect our children.

Tonight, at Jackson Middle School in Falls Church, at 7pm, the Fairfax County School Board will be voting on the Budget for 2011-2012 school year. Among the issues that will be discussed is an Amendment that was put forth by Tina Hone, that would cut the FLES (Foreign Language in the Elementary Schools) program from the current advertised budget for next year.

This post is not to advocate that you should stand for or against this issue, but that you should attend the meeting to make sure your voice is being heard.

A request for this post was submitted by a member of FLAGS.
