The public is invited to voice their comments about
the proposed budget directly to the Board of
Education at two public hearings. County
residents are also invited to attend the Board of
Education workshop.
No public
testimony is taken at the workshop. It's an opportunity to hear staff and Board
members discuss issues affecting the budget. |
There are no public
discussions with the County Executive at the time,
however, county residents are encouraged to
communicate their views to the County Executive
via phone, letter or email during this time. |
The

will
schedule
two public
hearings to hear residents’ comments on the
