CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools delivered a public update on its latest long-term plans to build new schools and adjust boundaries within the district on Wednesday.
Parents gathered at an information session at North Mecklenburg High School to learn more about a list of 125 potential construction projects.
The meeting was the latest in a series of public sessions intended to collect recommendations for the school board next month. The school board will compile the recommendations to create a final presentation for county commissioners.
A vote will follow after the school board asks for a November bond referendum to pay for it all.
The price tag is estimated to total a little more than $5 billion.
