Billy Stepp, the current superintendent of our Cumberland county schools, has risen above all expectations in his role. He has been our beacon in times of difficulty, showing up to every school threat and leading from the front to manage challenging situations. Against all odds, he has enacted positive changes that have indisputably impacted our children more than any other superintendent has.

As a parent to three children in the Cumberland county school system, I have witnessed firsthand the developments and improvements Director Stepp has brought. His commitment to creating a safe and nurturing academic environment is unquestionable. Despite us parents expressing our satisfaction and seeing the visible progress, the Board of Education contemplates not renewing his contract.

In an era where proactive leadership is needed more than ever in our schools, letting go of a figure like Billy Stepp would be a hindrance to the progress we strive to achieve. His hands-on approach and dedication to not only maintaining but improving the standard of education in our county should be applauded, not discarded.

So please, let's stand together for the future of our children, for the future of Cumberland county schools. Sign this petition and push for the contract renewal of Superintendent Billy Stepp. Your voice matters in shaping our children's educational journey.
