Sincerely, Virginia Purcell From: Jessica Sherrieb Phone Number: 9194380623 Message: I am writing to respectfully ask that the Commissioners fully fund the CHCCS schools. I am a parent of two children in CHCCS schools and a rising Kindergartner. My family moved to Chapel Hill in part for the excellent schools and we are in favor of increased taxes to pay for them. Thank you for your time. Sincerely, Jessica Sherrieb From: Marissa Elk Phone Number: 919-904-4355 Message: Dear County Commissioners, I am writing to express my wholehearted support of the proposed budget, including a tax increase as needed to fully fund the CHCCS budget. As the mother of 2 school-age and 1 soon-to-be school age child, I can tell you that we moved here a little over a year ago based largely on the strength of the school system. Despite having family in Raleigh, we chose to buy a house in Chapel Hill so that our children could benefit from what we feel is a superior public school education. Just as we try to shop at Chapel Hill businesses and attend local activities, we are fully supportive of the school system and would happily pay even more in taxes than we already do to maintain as high a level of quality as possible in the school system. I ask you as strongly as possible to approve the budget as proposed. Regards, Marissa Elk From: Laura Morgan Phone Number: 9196244946 Message: Dear County Commissioners, i am writing as an advocate of our schools and our county. Please look carefully at this budget and fully fund our schools. It appears it is time for a tax increase - but only to fund our schools. There is nothing more important than our schools and children. Thank you for your consideration.
