Your Voice Matters: 'Bracy on Board' & the CCS Cruiser Debut
Cumberland County Schools (CCS) is preparing to launch its new Family and Community Engagement Cruiser, a bus designed to deliver district resources and information directly into neighborhoods across the county. It will officially debut later this month during Bracy on Board: A Listening and Learning Journey, a series of community events led by Superintendent Dr. Eric Bracy.
The bus, a mobile hub for information and support, will stop at schools and neighborhoods across Cumberland County to provide families with easier access to district services. Dr. Bracy will join the first two events to meet with community members face-to-face, listen to their hopes for the future of CCS and gather input as the district and its stakeholders work together to shape the next strategic plan.
The community is invited to attend one of the following events:
Thursday, Sept. 25, from 5 to 7 p.m. at South View High School, 4184 Elk Road, Hope Mills, NC 28348
Tuesday, Sept. 30, from 5 to 7 p.m. at Pine Forest High School, 525 Andrews Road, Fayetteville, NC 28311
Each event will feature refreshments, music, informational booths and giveaways, including Walmart gift cards (while supplies last).
“These events are about listening, learning and celebrating together,” said Dr. Bracy. “We are committed to working hand-in-hand with families, staff and community partners to make Cumberland County Schools the best school system in the state.”
The events are free and open to the public.
