HCPSS is the crown jewel of HoCo. As a resident of Howard County and a tax payer, I am looking to your decisions on funding the HCPSS education budget as the most important demonstration of your commitment to the children of this county, who deserve a world-class educational experience. On behalf of the school children of Howard County, I respectfully request that the County Council adequately fund the educational needs of our school system to ensure its long term success. Please do the right thing for our county and fully fund the HCPSS budget request. Sincerely, Daisy Zhang 9637 Susies Way EllicottCity, MD 21042 Sayers, Margery From: Nooreen Zaidi <

I demand that the County Council adequately fund the educational needs of our school system to enable it to provide the best educational experience possible for all of our students. Class sizes, proper staffing and diverse programming are the fundamental elements of a world-class educational system and they are all currently in jeopardy with the current budget proposal.
