Question: “This community has long discussed constructing a new campus for E.E. Smith High School. What’s your solution for E.E. Smith High School?” John Lee answered: “The first and last considerations should be on the impact on the community, the students and its cultural and historical legacy. There are too many moving parts for a solution to be rendered by any one person. I believe that E.E. Smith High School should remain at its present location and receive investments in like manner as Terry Sanford.”

School Facilities & Resources

Question: “Declining enrollment and increasing absenteeism are both significant challenges for Cumberland County Schools. What’s your fix for both?” John Lee answered: “We should seek to restructure the opportunity vouchers. As a community, we are responsible for ensuring our students understand and embrace the value and importance of education. They must want it for themselves. Additionally, we must address the mental and social concerns facing our students. In doing so, declining enrollment and increasing absenteeism will eventually correct themselves.”

Question: “Cumberland County Sheriff Ennis Wright surprised officials this spring when he suddenly announced plans to pull school resource officers and traffic control officers from most public schools. What’s your take on his decision, and how would you approach a relationship with the Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office moving forward? And has the SRO issue been resolved to your satisfaction?” John Lee answered: “It was never an SRO issue; but instead, an issue of providing a safe environment where there is a harmonious atmosphere to teach, learn and share ideas. A place where parents know that their loved ones are secure. The problem did not suddenly appear. Nor should it have been a surprise to the Board of Education. I would propose an open and continuous dialogue between all vested parties, including parents, community leaders and students. School safety is found in the respect, understanding and appreciation of ALL who enter the premises.”
