Cumberland County Schools pulls $13M in facility projects from central sites
What happened
On October 15, 2026, Cumberland County Schools revised its seven-year facility repair plan, which outlines $301 million for school building needs. The district pulled $13 million in projects from central services sites, including the Education Resource Center, the operations campus, and the maintenance warehouse. The revised plan now directs the $301 million solely to campuses that serve students.
