This budget reduction was <br />put in place on March 8, 2013 for current year operations. Therefore, our true need did not arise until <br />after the deadline. <br />Upon analyzing all aspects our Orange County Head Start and Early Head Start budget we found that we <br />could not reduce costs without reducing services to the children of Orange County. This has led to our <br />decision to submit an Application for Exemption. If granted we will be able to use these funds to <br />increase teacher hours and restore funding for transportation for families. <br />Thank you for consideration of Property Tax Exemption for 2013 with a late application. We assure you a <br />timely filing in 2014. <br />Thank you, <br />Mike Mathers, Executive Director <br />CC: Angela Wilcox and Sarah Hiskey <br />
