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 /> I 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 /> I 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 />
