Dear Ms. Haidt,
We had a very productive meeting this morning with the superintendent and worked out a plan within the existing budget to pay for the top three priorities previously not funded by the budget plan that is currently under review. This includes the 11 teaching positions which you addressed in your email.
Thank you for taking the time to write.
Sally Kost

Dear Commissioners:
I am forwarding, for your consideration, an eminently sensible and persuasive letter which I received and which addresses the short-sighted plan to eliminate 11 teaching positions from the new budget. The original writers of this letter have put forth a most logical plan for alternative, less harmful budget cuts which could–and should–be made.
I hope you each consider this to be a constructive and popular solution to the financial problems we face in Chatham County.
Best wishes,
Elaine Haidt
