To the Fluvanna County Board of Supervisors We, the concerned parents, teachers, school employees and citizens of Fluvanna County, urge you to commit the revenue necessary in order for the FY 2012 budget of the Fluvanna County Public Schools to be fully funded. The Fluvanna County Public Schools has just had to incur a $4.5 million loss in funding for fiscal year 2011. This loss in funding has already had a negative effect on our children’s education. Now faced with another $1 million shortfall, the school board will have no choice but to look at eliminating programs and positions that are essential to providing a quality education for the most important resource this county will ever have – OUR CHILDREN. An excellent education is essential to our children’s futures. Their success in turn is essential to the well-being of our county, our state and our nation. Our students cannot afford to wait until the economy recovers to receive an excellent education; now more than ever we need to be providing them with the tools to survive in current economic times as well as in the future.

I have spent my mornings reading the notes you left here and they confirm exactly what I see in my own children every night. Our schools are running on fumes while the board continues to look away from the reality of these budget cuts.

Seeing this kind of movement makes me feel like our community truly understands what is at stake for my children and their classmates. It is clear that we refuse to let these budget cuts compromise the futures of the students who rely on our local schools.

Teachers are already doing way too much with way too little. We need to fund our schools properly or move out of this county.

Funding schools is the most basic job of the county board. Stop failing the kids.

So tired of hearing about shortfalls when we see the classes getting bigger and supplies disappearing. Do your jobs.

PLEASE keep these programs running. My daughter depends on these classes to get into college.

Total nonsense. They find money for everything else but education gets the axe every year. FIX IT.
