Dear Parent Council representatives:

 

The next Board of Supervisors meeting will be held this coming Wednesday, March 8th starting at 6:00 p.m. at MONTICELLO HIGH SCHOOL in the Auditorium (1400 Independence Way).

This meeting will be devoted to a public hearing to receive comments on the County Executive's FY 2006/2007 Recommended Budget.  It is critical that there be a strong presence from the Parent Council and the county schools to demonstrate support for full funding of public education.  It is at this hearing that everyone who wants their fair share of the county budget "pie" is in attendance - including those who question or criticize the amount of resources devoted to educational funding (the County Executive's proposed budget includes $138 million for the School Division, a $15m or 12.2% increase over the current budget; the budget for the School Division represents 53% of the total proposed county budget).  So, we cannot afford to be complacent.  Whether or not you choose to offer comments at the hearing, your attendance is important.

 

Although the county's announcement of the hearing did not specify this, typically the sign-ups for those who wish to speak begins at 5:00pm.
