Fayetteville, NC – In light of the latest weather forecast, which also considers the potential timing of inclement weather, Tuesday, Jan. 9, 2024, will be an asynchronous remote learning day for Cumberland County Schools (CCS) students. The district’s inclement weather plan focuses on the safety of students and staff as weather forecasts are predicting possible heavy rainfall, sustained winds, and potentially dangerous wind gusts for tomorrow.
