CMS Board

Math I was the focus of last week’s CMS school board meeting, giving us the latest look at progress toward the goal.

The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools Board of Education is moving to formally dissolve its Office of Compliance and Ethics, which was created in 2019 after the ousting of two superintendents in five years and scrutiny over a contract under former Superintendent Clayton Wilcox.

The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools Board is set to meet Tuesday night, and school budget officials are set to give a presentation on the 2026-27 budget.

CMPD released crime statistics for last year. A petition to remove Mecklenburg County Sheriff Garry McFadden had its first court hearing. Charlotte City Council voted to give the new Metropolitan Transportation Authority $4.3 million in startup funds, as the measles virus was detected in local wastewater.

The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools Board of Education extended Superintendent Crystal Hill’s contract and approved a raise Tuesday night. The raise is contingent on the General Assembly approving pay raises for teachers.

The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools Board of Education officially welcomed four new members at its meeting Tuesday night.

Six of nine seats on the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools Board of Education were up for grabs Tuesday. And the voters have spoken, choosing four new members.

Transit advocates pick up a big win, Democrats run the table in local elections, CMPD announces a new chief, and it’s nail-biting time as Charlotte F.C. comes home to take on New York City in the final playoff game of a three-game series.

Nearly half of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools Board of Education will be new next year, after challengers unseated two incumbents in Tuesday’s elections.

Shamaiye Haynes and Anna London will be the next representatives for the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools Board of Education’s District 2 and 6 seats, both of which were open after the incumbents decided not to run again this year.
