11 <br /> 1 to work because they know that their children are getting the best public education in the <br /> 2 Triangle - all of which are absolutely true for my family. If we do not maintain that <br /> 3 standard of excellence, there will be little incentive for taxpayers to remain in Orange <br /> 4 County when they could live less expensively just over the Durham County line. <br /> 5 <br /> 6 I thank you for your ongoing support of public education in Orange County, and ask you <br /> 7 to continue to make full funding of our two public school systems your top budgetary <br /> 8 priority once again this year. Thank you. <br /> 9 <br /> 10 Respectfully, <br /> 11 <br /> 12 Bridget Mora <br /> 13 Parent of 1 st grade student at Seawell Elementary <br /> 14 500 Umstead Drive #F108 <br /> 15 Chapel Hill, NC 27516 <br /> 16 919-240-4684 <br /> 17 <br /> 18 To whom it may concern, <br /> 19 I have a 2nd grader and soon-to-be kindergartner at Ephesus Elementary. I urge you to <br /> 20 increase funding for our schools as the teaching positions and teaching assistants are <br /> 21 critical to the success of our schools. We moved to Chapel Hill based on the quality of <br /> 22 public education. It is important to maintain the current level of excellence and <br /> 23 continued budget cuts do not support that. As a taxpayer in Chapel Hill, I am willing to <br /> 24 do my part to ensure success of our students. Please do your part as commissioners to <br /> 25 support our schools. <br /> 26 <br /> 27 Sincerely, <br /> 28 Lisa Huggins <br /> 29 800 Churchill Dr <br /> 30 Chapel Hill NC 27517 <br /> 31 <br /> 32 Dear Board of County Commissioners: <br /> 33 <br /> 34 We are parents of a 3rd grader and a rising Kindergartener at McDougle Elementary. <br /> 35 Please do whatever it takes to make full funding happen for CHCCS schools, even if that <br /> 36 means tax increases. We depend on the BoCC to fund the full budget request for our <br /> 37 schools. <br /> 38 <br /> 39 Education is our top priority and it should be yours too. Thank you for your time and <br /> 40 commitment to education in our community. <br /> 41 <br /> 42 Sincerely, <br /> 43 Stephanie and Bob Palmer <br /> 44 305 Autumn Drive <br /> 45 Chapel Hill, NC 27516 <br /> 46 <br /> 47 PLEASE FUND THE COMPLETE BUDGET THE BOARD HAS PROPOSED. WE CANT <br /> 48 AFFORD TO LOSE ANY TEACHERS OR ANY TEACHERS AIDES. <br /> 49 As a grandparent of four children in the Chapel Hill school system, I have witnessed the <br /> 50 supreme effort and enthusiasm teachers from two different elementary schools make to <br /> 51 complete their academic calendar and evaluations of their students. <br />
