> [2026-08-18] Per your public records request, according to Cumberland County Schools' (CCS) Curriculum and Instruction department, North Carolina Standard Course of Study for Social Studies Education does not require a financial literacy course be taught in Grades K-8th. Therefore, CCS does not offer such a course.
