Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools' new superintendent quickly rose up the ranks over 15 years, from making $37,000 as a teacher in 2004 to now $280,000 as the leader of one of the country's largest school districts.
The school board unanimously picked Earnest Winston as the new leader of CMS Friday morning, approving a three-year contract. He was the only person considered for the job.

SEVERE WEATHER PLAN
Two-hour delay
When schools open two hours late because of severe weather, the start of school is delayed but the ending bell time does not change. All employees other than bus drivers will report to work at the usual time (unless a notification is issued). Principals will develop a modified bell schedule to accommodate the late start and will collaborate with the cafeteria manager on a lunch schedule that allows all students to eat.
Early Dismissal
If school is dismissed early, public notification will occur by 1 p.m. All buses will follow their regular afternoon routes unless otherwise notified. All students will be delivered to their regularly assigned afternoon bus stops, except ASEP students, whose parents will pick them up at their home schools.
