Statement from the
Cumberland County Board of Education Regarding the April 2, 2026, Leandro Ruling
April 2, 2026
We respect the decision of the court regarding the Leandro case, although we are disappointed with the outcome. Our commitment to providing a sound, basic education for every student remains steadfast and unwavering.
Cumberland County, as a Tier 1, low-wealth County, faces unique challenges, but we refuse to let these challenges define us. We are working collaboratively and creatively with students, families, County Commissioners and community partners to maintain an exceptional learning environment where all students can thrive.
As a public school system, our commitment is to accept all students, regardless of their backgrounds, and to work tirelessly alongside them and their families to ensure their success. Public education is an investment in the future of our society, and through our Legislative Priorities, we will continue to advocate for adequate state funding for Cumberland County Schools and the other low-wealth school districts across North Carolina.
