Cumberland County auxiliary committee renews branded pizza contract, approves facility namings and alarm lease
Summary
The Board—s auxiliary committee approved a one-year renewal of the branded pizza contract for high schools, voted to name a Terry Sanford concession stand and baseball field after local supporters, and approved a $713,065 alarm leasing and monitoring renewal with Holmes Electric.
The Cumberland County Board of Education—s auxiliary committee on May 6 approved a one-year renewal of the district—s branded pizza contract, multiple facility namings at Terry Sanford High School and a $713,065 alarm leasing and monitoring contract with Holmes Electric.
The committee voted to renew the branded pizza contract currently with Pizza Hut for the 2025—6 school year, a contract the district said supplies pizza that meets United States Department of Agriculture nutrition guidelines for reimbursable school meals and is served in high schools. The committee also approved naming the Terry Sanford baseball concession stand the Riddle Concession Stand after a $55,000 gift and naming the school—s baseball field the Samuel P. Guy III Baseball Field in recognition of the coach—s decades of service.
The board approved renewing the district—s alarm leasing and monitoring agreement with Holmes Electric for $713,065. Carrie Young, the district—s director of safety and security, told the committee Holmes Electric covers alarm leasing and monitoring for all school buildings, provides immediate on-site response for malfunctions and operates a local monitoring center; the company—s pricing, she said, is effectively unchanged from the prior year except for a $1-per-account monthly increase.
The committee also received an update on school resource officer (SRO) coverage by jurisdiction; at the time of the meeting the Hope Mills Police Department provided five SROs for seven schools, the Cumberland County Sheriff—s Office provided 25 SROs for county schools, and the Fayetteville Police Department provided nine SROs shared across 50 schools. The district said it had contracted a private security firm to place six security guards at elementary schools during large family events to supplement law enforcement and free officers to focus on middle and high school coverage.
Motions to approve the pizza contract renewal, the two namings and the Holmes Electric renewal carried by board vote in the auxiliary committee meeting.
