Eight of the nine Cumberland County Board of Education members will have professional experience in education when two newly elected members take their seats in December. Tom Hatch and Broxie Pone, both former educators, will join incumbent Jacquelyn Brown, who won reelection Nov. 3 . As Hatch and Pone prepare to join Brown to serve on a board facing decisions about school closures, student achievement and district finances, all three have outlined priorities that include improving school facilities, addressing chronic absenteeism and supporting teachers and staff. During the Nov. 3 election, Hatch received 26,038 votes, incumbent Board Vice Chair Brown received 22,240, and Pone received 20,680, according to unofficial results. The election was for three at-large seats.
