LTE Ludlow Mount Holly school budget
June 4 is an important date for the Ludlow and Mount Holly communities to rally together and approve our local school budget. As you know, this is the third attempt at the budget, and it is especially important to continue the education of our youth. Our family has been attending Ludlow schools for four generations, and it is important to know our three grandsons are getting the supportive help and instruction my parents, Ron and I, and our daughters received. The staff and administration at Ludlow Elementary continue to excel and genuinely care for our children. I am sure the same can be found in the Mount Holly school. Our middle and high school students deserve our passing the budget as well, so they can continue with the schools of their choice.
