Cumberland County Schools outlines Choice program options; applications due Jan. 3, 2025
Summary
Dr. Lavette Braswell of Cumberland County Schools gave an overview of the district—s Choice programs, enrollment timelines and application process, noting the application window opened Nov. 18 and closes Jan. 3, 2025; notifications will be issued Feb. 3 with a two-week acceptance window.
Dr. Lavette Braswell, Family Ambassador for Cumberland County Schools, presented an overview of the district—s Choice programs and enrollment timeline, saying the application window opened Nov. 18 and closes Jan. 3, 2025.
The presentation explained why the Choice program matters for county families: it lets students apply to schools and programs across the district based on interest or need rather than home address, and includes options from kindergarten through 12th grade. "Our Choice program has something for everyone," Dr. Braswell said.
Braswell summarized program types and entry points. Elementary Choice options commonly begin at kindergarten or first grade; middle school programs generally begin at sixth grade; most high school Choice programs begin at ninth grade, and some high school programs will accept students up to 11th grade. She said the Virtual Learning Academy serves K—2 and that many high-school programs are grouped by theme, including early college, career academies and arts or classical programs.
