Support for Education Funding
Jessica Greene
Dear Orange County Board of Commissioners,
As you continue budget deliberations, I am writing to express my support for maintaining and strengthening the county's investment in public education.
I encourage you to support the following amendments:
OP-B05A, which would increase education funding by 5.5%
OP-B05B, which would increase education funding by 4.5%
Either of these amendments would meet CHCCS's continuation budget request and help ensure students, educators, and schools have the resources they need.
I also support CIP-B01, which would increase pay-go funds by $3 million to cover design costs for needed school renovation projects and preserve bond funds for construction.
Additionally, I urge you to oppose amendments that would reduce education funding or delay school-related capital projects, including OP-B18, CIP-B06, CIP-B07, and CIP-B12.
Thank you for your service to Orange County and for your continued commitment to our students, educators, and public schools.
Sincerely,
Jessica Greene
