The fallout over the firing of CMS Superintendent Crystal Hill continues with dissension on the board and another CMS executive staff resignation; Charlotte City Council passes a new 10 p.m. curfew for teens under 18; Mooresville Mayor Chris Carney is out, and, with Election Day a month away, U.S. Senate races in both Carolinas are in the spotlight.

The Charlotte-Mecklenburg school board on Tuesday took the first formal step in its search for a new superintendent, days after the board fired former Superintendent Crystal Hill in a contentious 5-4 vote.
