Fully fund our schools!

[Melanie Crawford]

As a person of two children in public school, I ask you to please fully fund our schools. Our children deserve the same educational opportunities that we had. These are the people who will be serving us when we are older. Investing in them is investing in us. 

Public schools are the back bone in our community. This is so important.

Thank you,

Melanie Crawford, resident of Hillsborough, NC

Dear Melanie Crawford,

 

On behalf of the Orange County Board of Commissioners (BOCC), thank you for sharing your perspective on the impacts to our school districts if the County moves to a per-pupil funding model.  As you may know, the County is facing a major budget shortfall of several million dollars due to projected expenditures exceeding projected revenues and the BOCC has to consider all options. Your feedback is helpful as we face difficult decisions.

 

Sincerely,

Jean

 

Jean Hamilton, Chair

Orange County Board of Commissioners
