Candidate James Reeder
Responds to FCAST Letter

Good Morning Mr. Kavanaugh,

I am supporter of your efforts. When the FCPS floated the notion to close the swimming and diving programs I actually donated money, through the fund raising efforts of Blaine Young, to keep your programs alive. My campaign stands for fiscal responsibility and common sense with accountability and I see very little of any of this in the administration level of our school system. As you know, a new board is about to be elected and depending on the folks that are elected, major changes could be coming. Without a doubt, the former mantra of "if you are not for us you are not for the kids" played on the emotions of the electorate but, sadly, this was just an election ploy. Did you ever ask yourself why the kids always take the hits first?? I do, and in my way of thinking the adults will take all of the hits until we unload all of waste and over paid administration staff, along with their perks. Just so their is no confusion, if elected, I will be representing the tax payers, children, teachers, food service and maintenance staff. These groups are long overlooked and under appreciated. I am in your corner and will do my best to protect a good educational and high school after hours experience. Pools are to swim in and not be held hostage. Good Luck with your efforts I am doing my best to get elected.

Best Regards,

Jimmy Reeder
