I live, work, or worship within the boundaries of Lancaster County, SC schools. I spend dollars that fund local schools, parks, and businesses.

I fully support the decision to allow locally based groups and organizations access to government funded parks and school facilities for the use of activities that enhance the mind, body, and spirit of the youth participant.

Prohibiting access or denying use of these community facilities is failing our youth; creating an exodus of local sports talent, dollars, and residency to outlying areas. I support Open Community Use of tracks, fields, courts, playgrounds, or other outdoor facilities before and after school hours

We can do better, we should do better. We owe it to our kids to let them play!
