Budget Cut Meetings in Buncombe County

Dr. Baldwin will present budget information at District Advisory Council meetings to be held at 5:30pm at high schools:
5/19-Reynolds District
5/23-Enka District
5/24-Erwin District
5/25-N.Buncombe
5/26-Roberson District
5/31-Owen District

This is very important for us to understand the cuts to our children schools. Can our children afford to lose their chance on an education because the legislators in Raleigh think that cuts are the only way to balance the budget.

Maintaining the penny sales tax could keep all the teachers in job. Cutting the budget this way is cutting jobs and our children education. This penny sales tax costs a family on average $116 per year. What is the price of the cuts to our children.

Be informed and call your legislators and tell them this is wrong!!!
