'This is a disaster': NC lawmaker explains push to break up Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools

North Carolina lawmakers are calling for the state's second-largest school district to split up amid leadership concerns. Rep. David Willis (R-Union County) said Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools is in shambles and is calling on the General Assembly to form a task force to break up the district. "It is time the General Assembly steps in and takes action," Willis said on Twitter. CMS board members told WCNC Charlotte that they received a call that legislators are planning to introduce a bill on the matter.

No legislation has been introduced on the matter as of Wednesday. READ MORE: https://www.wcnc.com/article/news/education/cms-break-up-legislation-possible/275-ae947d5c-2741-4a7a-91e4-c443b16a6082
