8 <br /> 1 Kristin Jackson said she is a parent and a teacher, and thanked the BOCC for providing <br /> 2 funding for equity services. She said CHCCS ranks high in the State, but there is a great deal <br /> 3 of work to do, and North Carolina is projected to stay at 391h this year. She said funding should <br /> 4 be a source of pride; being number one in a state that is 39th does not say much. She said the <br /> 5 school supplements allow districts to be more selective in who is recruited, but the State no <br /> 6 longer offers corresponding pay for enhanced degrees. She said the 2019 Stanford Center for <br /> 7 Education Policy Analysis still shows that CHCCS has the 2nd largest achievement gap in the <br /> 8 nation, and humbly asked the BOCC to continue a high level of funding to close this <br /> 9 achievement gap. <br /> 10 Marisa Martini said she works for Habitat for Humanity, handling the home preservation <br /> 11 programs. She thanked the BOCC for its commitment to affordable housing, and the Manager <br /> 12 for recommending an increase in funding to allow Habitat to serve low-income families and <br /> 13 persons in rural areas. <br /> 14 Nancy Rogers said she is a homeowner who lives in the Rogers Road neighborhood, <br /> 15 and the home preservation program allowed Habitat to build an accessible ramp, thanks to the <br /> 16 funding to help people in need. She said her husband was in and out of the hospital and they <br /> 17 were in desperate need for a ramp because he could not walk. She said she reached out to <br /> 18 various agencies, but no one came through. She said it was difficult to get him out of the house, <br /> 19 and she finally gave up, but the Jackson Center contacted Habitat to help. She said the new <br /> 20 ramp has given her husband his independence again. She thanked the BOCC for its funding <br /> 21 and support. <br /> 22 Douglas Call said he is a volunteer at Habitat on the home restoration program. He said <br /> 23 he has lived in the area for 25 years after serving in the military, and has had the opportunity to <br /> 24 see a lot of areas and see what housing means to people. He said returning to this area gave <br /> 25 him a wonderful opportunity to take that insight to help elderly people. He said he has got to <br /> 26 know the families well, and the small repairs have great impact, and allow people to interact <br /> 27 more with the community. He said he is a member of the Board of Directors, and thanked the <br /> 28 BOCC for allocating these funds. He said most families who have to leave their homes will end <br /> 29 up spending more money, which leads to debt, bankruptcy and life changes, and society then <br /> 30 has to pick up what they cannot pay. <br /> 31 Riza Jenkins said she is a parent in the Chapel Hill Carrboro school system, and <br /> 32 requests the commissioners fully fund the budget request. She said there are many costs in <br /> 33 running a school district, and one essential element is to support the exceptional teachers and <br /> 34 staff. She said it is amazing that there is no paid maternity/paternity leave; and teachers are <br /> 35 always focused on providing services to our children, even when teachers are not working <br /> 36 because of a newborn. She said teachers do so much for our children and for our future. <br /> 37 <br /> 38 A motion was made by Commissioner Dorosin, seconded by Commissioner McKee to <br /> 39 close the public hearing at 7:49 p.m. <br /> 40 <br /> 41 4. Adjournment <br /> 42 <br /> 43 A motion was made by Commissioner Dorosin, seconded by Commissioner McKee to <br /> 44 adjourn the public hearing at 7:49 p.m. <br /> 45 <br /> 46 VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> 47 <br /> 48 <br /> 49 Penny Rich, Vice-Chair <br /> 50 <br /> 51 <br />
