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