Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools high schools will dismiss students early Monday after the CMS Board of Education voted to use it as a makeup testing day for end-of-course exams.

The change was required after Wednesday’s snow day forced the district to lose a day during its testing window this week.

On Monday, high schools will dismiss at 12:30 p.m., as is the normal schedule for end-of-year testing days. The semester, which was set to end today, will be extended to Tuesday to allow for the change and ensure all end-of-year testing can be completed before the third quarter begins.

A teacher workday that was planned for Friday will go on as planned.
