To whom it may concern,
As a Mom, resident and worker of Orange County I would love to see West Triangle High School be built on Lawrence Rd. This is huge opportunity to bring a diverse and cutting-edge school into our growing area. Parents want options especially in this time of uncertainty, please vote yes! 

Thanks,
Kate Edwards

Good morning! I am writing in support of building West Triangle High School in our community. We are currently districted to Orange High School. I have four children, three of whom have had experiences with OHS. We had one who graduated (but didn't enjoy her experience there and wished she could have gone elsewhere), one who attended for a year but was bullied (the principal was at best ineffective, at worst negligent in doing anything to stop it), and the third, a special needs child, didn't get the federally mandated care he needed but was ultimately fortunate enough to get into a Durham charter school and had a great experience there. 

I am now facing the prospect of sending my fourth child to high school in about a year, and I am trying desperately to find any other solution besides OHS. It is exceedingly hard to get into Eno River Academy, and we are not districted to Cedar Ridge. 

Hillsborough is growing so fast, I feel too fast. But if the powers that be are going to continue to approve new neighborhood builds, you also have to be responsible for providing quality schooling for all of the kids moving to the area. Our schools are bursting at the seams, and having a new option that would ultimately let the pressure off to the tune of 600 kids would be a boon for Hillsborough. 

I encourage you to approve the rezoning on Lawrence Rd and provide our community with a school option we all need. 

Thank you for your time,
Amy Carabetta

Hello, I wanted to voice my support for the rezoning of Lawrence Rd in Hillsborough to facilitate the opening of West Triangle HS. My son's and his friends' experiences at local charter schools have given so many kids access to a tuition-free education that's accessible to children across a wide range of neurodiverse needs. I can't emphasize strongly enough the power of these kinds of services and how much they can empower kids who would otherwise be sidelined.

Please rezone Lawrence Rd to facilitate the opening of West Triangle HS in Hillsborough. As our local community grows, so, too, will the number of kids who can benefit from a charter school education that recognizes their unique needs and abilities.

Thank you for your time and consideration.
