School Facilities & Resources

Access to Education

Advocates for increasing pay for certified and classified educators to help retain them in the school system.

How do you feel about the amount teachers are paid in North Carolina, and what is your opinion about the amount of local supplements teachers get in Cumberland County?

Educators' pays need to be increased to keep the educators in the school system. It is not just certified educators, because the classified educators work two jobs to maintain a cost of living for their families. I don't know how much educators get in their supplements. I treat my supplement as a bonus. I was working two jobs.

Teachers

Calls for examining why schools perform poorly and adjusting curriculum if needed.

How do you feel about the curriculum that Cumberland County schools use and what, if any, changes need to be made to it?
I think we need to find out why some schools are performing low. If the curriculum needs to adjust some changes, then let's work it out. We need to show the parents or guardians to do the work also. Then they can help their children or grand.

School Curriculum

Wants school personnel trained to respond to school shootings and students encouraged to report concerns to appropriate staff.

What do you feel are the biggest threats to school safety, and what would you propose to do about them? My biggest fear is gun violence or school shooting. I want all parts of the education system to be properly trained for the situation. Encourage students to report anything that is wrong to the proper personnel.
