33 <br /> 1 1 am sending this message since I cannot make it to the BOCC meeting tonight. I wanted to <br /> 2 voice my support for the funding of the CHCCS budget. Quality schools enhance the area and <br /> 3 make people want to live in Chapel Hill, increasing property values, and thus increasing tax <br /> 4 revenue. If the budget is not approved, the schools will suffer since they could be affected in <br /> 5 attracting teaching talent, and they may have to cut programs that students benefit from. These <br /> 6 valuable funds also support the growth that the area is experiencing by enabling new facilities to <br /> 7 be built and current facilities to be expanded, so the schools are not overcrowded. Please vote <br /> 8 to fund the budget! <br /> 9 <br /> 10 <br /> 11 From: Katie Weber <br /> 12 Phone Number: 9199420890 <br /> 13 Message: <br /> 14 Please fully fund all schools in Orange County. We truly value them and our children's <br /> 15 education. Thank you! <br /> 16 <br /> 17 <br /> 18 From: Diana Woodhouse <br /> 19 Phone Number: (919) 260-8853 <br /> 20 Message: <br /> 21 Hello, <br /> 22 <br /> 23 1 am favor of the proposed school budget as is and strongly advocate for passing the budget. <br /> 24 This is extremely important for our kids and for their futures. <br /> 25 <br /> 26 Thank you for the work you do. <br /> 27 Diana <br /> 28 <br /> 29 <br /> 30 From: Jen Bishop <br /> 31 Phone Number: 9199333748 <br /> 32 Message: <br /> 33 Dear Orange County Commissioners, <br /> 34 <br /> 35 First, thank you for your service during such a critical time for the county. We appreciate all <br /> 36 your hard work. <br /> 37 <br /> 38 Second, I want to urge you to fully fund the budget request of CHCCCS and OCS. The schools <br /> 39 need the funding to hold the line and keep the current level of service. As a volunteer in the <br /> 40 schools, I see how tightly things are stretched, and how hard everyone is working. <br /> 41 <br /> 42 1 know this may mean a tax increase. This is always a hard decision. 1, for one, would happily <br /> 43 pay more knowing we are investing in the future of our children in Orange County. <br /> 44 <br /> 45 Commissioners, <br /> 46 <br /> 47 1 will be unable to speak tonight due to my graduating daughter's last orchestra concert and was <br /> 48 unable last week due to another commitment. <br /> 49 <br /> 50 1 know that the BOCC did not create this mess that we are in with the retreating state funding of <br /> 51 K-12, but I would like to ask you to shore up funding until the state comes around (hopefully via <br /> 52 some election loss turnover in other parts of the state). <br />
