Cumberland schools report athletics, pandemic-era meal distribution and set Feb. 19 budget hearing
Summary
Superintendent Missy Shores told the Board the district’s boys’ basketball team is first in district and region, the elementary Instructional Leadership Team received a VaTLL award, and the district distributed more than 3,200 meals during the winter storm; a public budget hearing is set for Feb. 19.
Superintendent Missy Shores updated the Cumberland County Board of Supervisors on athletics, student supports and upcoming budget events. She said the boys’ basketball team is currently first in both the district and region while the girls’ team is second in the district, and that the indoor track team will travel to Rockingham for the Region 1B championship.
Shores noted the elementary Instructional Leadership Team received the VaTLL award for outstanding instructional leadership, presented Feb. 6 in Richmond, and highlighted the division’s response to recent winter weather: “Over 3,200 meals were sent home with our students on the 23,” and staff later made roughly 60 meals available at the school over three days for families who needed them. She also thanked maintenance, custodial and transportation staff for clearing sidewalks and parking lots.
The superintendent said the Division Spelling Bee is scheduled for Feb. 19 at the elementary school and a public hearing on the proposed school budget will be held the same day, offering the community an opportunity for input. She reminded residents that the next School Board meeting is Feb. 16 and encouraged continued engagement.
