<sh>Tennis Bubble Collaboration
<bt>At its Thursday, March 7 meeting, the Fairfax County School Board, will consider entering into a partnership with the Reston Association (RA) for the purpose of building a tennis bubble at South Lakes High School.

Action on the project is scheduled for March 21. The School Board meets at Luther Jackson Middle School, 3020 Gallows Road, Falls Church.
