Dear VYI Member:

As you may know the FCPS FY2011 proposed budget contains some troubling items. Among the various proposed cuts is the complete elimination of all freshman sports, varsity indoor track and reduced participation in swimming. It is well documented that sports participation improves academic performance, reduces the incidence of drug abuse, tobacco use and teen pregnancy. It also improves self esteem and enhances social skills. Eliminating freshman sports will cause particular harm as the transition from middle school to high school already presents unique social challenges.

Attached is a letter from Mark Meana, Chairman of the Fairfax County Athletic Council (FCAC) proposing a compromise that, if adopted, may save these sports programs. The VYI board has voted to support the FCAC proposal and we urge you to do the same. Please review the recommendation and let your school board and Fairfax County Board of Supervisors member know your position. The budget approval process is nearing completion. So if you want your opinion to count you must act quickly. Once these programs are gone reinstatement will be very difficult.

Thank you,Robert G. Forbes, President
