Board approves several appropriations, including a $10,000 STEM grant to schools

Cumberland County Board of Supervisors · January 14, 2026

Summary

Finance staff presented December budget figures and recommended appropriations: a $10,000 STEM competition grant to the schools, a reimbursement request from the circuit court clerk (amount unclear in the verbal record), and a grant award to Emergency Services related to a regional drug-box transition with $1,870 noted as the awarded amount for FY26.

The board received the monthly budget report for December and approved a set of appropriations proposed by finance staff.

The Cumberland County Public Schools requested and received recommendation for appropriation of a $10,000 STEM competition grant; staff said the funds had been received and do not require additional county match. Finance staff also reported a reimbursement request from Circuit Court Clerk Deidre Martin for costs associated with a records-management system; the packet includes the request but the verbal amount in the meeting transcript is unclear and should be verified in the packet documentation. Finally, staff noted the Department of Emergency Services applied for and received grant funding related to a regional drug-box transition: the total amount available for that award was cited as $16,677.90 and the board was told $1,870 was the amount awarded to the department for FY26.

The board moved and approved the appropriations as presented. Finance staff invited questions and said additional details are available in the board packet (pages noted during presentation).
