The Cumberland County Board of Education will meet via Zoom tomorrow night (August 27, 2020). On the agenda includes honoring outgoing board member Tom Netherton who did not seek re-election and consideration of various policies. The meeting will be streamed live on the school system’s Facebook page starting at 6 p.m. The board has an executive meeting with school attorney Earl Patton prior to the session to discuss releasing numbers of students in the system who tested positive for COVID-19.

Patton told 105.7 News two days ago the school system could release the total number of students in the school system with a positive test of COVID-19 but breaking the number down by schools may have issues. In the past two weeks, four requests were made by this newsroom for the total numbers.

The only official response received was “a report will be released soon.”
