Earlier this year, Fairfax County proposed cutting $3.9M in funding for the Middle School After-School Program (MSASP) and VIP Summer Camps, putting 27 programs and over 27,000 students at risk. Thanks to strong community advocacy, funding was restored for this school year—but the future remains uncertain.
Proposed changes for 2026–27 would remove dedicated county funding and introduce student fees, creating potential inequities, primarily impacting our students in Title I schools. These changes place the entire financial responsibility for the middle school after-school and summer programs on the FC School Board.
If you live or work in Fairfax County, please consider contacting your School Board and Board of Supervisors representatives to urge full funding for these vital programs. They play a critical role in keeping our students engaged, supported, and thriving.
