State Lawmaker Drafting Bill to Split Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools
A North Carolina state lawmaker is drafting a bill to split the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools district, which serves about 140,000 students, Public Radio East reported Nov. 11. School board member Anna London confirmed that Representative David Willis's office had contacted board members about the draft. London said she does not support splitting the district.
The bill would also trigger a recall election for the school board. The Charlotte Ledger first reported the plan. The district, in Charlotte, Mecklenburg County, is one of the largest in the state, and the proposal is expected to draw wide debate when the legislature takes it up.
