Dear South Lakes Band Boosters,
The Fairfax County Public Schools FY 2011 budget calls for an $81.9 million increase over last year's county budget transfer in order to save key programs, such as elementary band and strings, class sizes, full-day kindergarten, and elementary foreign language
Unfortunately, the County Executive's FY 2011 Advertised Bugdet recommends a $1.6 million dollar transfer to the Public School Operating Fund, reflecting a 1 percent decrease from from last year's county budget transfer. (See the entire budget presentation. [link])
