Cumberland County Board of Education District 6: Nathan Warfel
Since my election to the board in 2020, our state’s legislature has passed several pieces of polarizing legislation aimed at having a direct and prolonged impact on the state of public education in North Carolina.

To keep our best teachers, they need more money. Don’t lower our standards of our children. We want them to be ready for college, trade school, community college and everyday life.
Cumberland County Board of Education District 5: Susan Williams
Educating children is the hardest job in America but miracles happen all the time in education, and public schools provide the avenue for that to happen. They accept and educate every child that enters the door.
Cumberland County Board of Education District 4: Jackie Warner
N.C. schools rank 33rd in the U.S., in my opinion, our public education system faces many challenges, including low funding, low teacher pay and a teacher shortage.
Cumberland County Board of Education District 1: Kathi Gibson
The public schools in North Carolina lack strong leadership. The N.C. teachers are not being paid like professionals, and the state has allowed low performance on the part of our children to become the norm.
Cumberland County Board of Education District 4: Donna Blackmon Vann
Unfortunately, I feel the state of public education in N.C. is in trouble due to decision-making being made based on personal and political agendas. Educating all students in our state should be a top priority.
Cumberland County Board of Education District 3: Tom Hatch
The “Parents’ Bill of Rights” is grounded in the principles of transparency and parental involvement, long-standing core values of our school system. This law provides CCS with the opportunity to reinforce our partnership with parents.
