UNION CO., N.C. – We’ve learned a lawmaker from Union County plans to file a bill intended to break-up Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools. CMS board member Anna London tells WCCB Charlotte that the bill is sponsored by state Rep. David Willis, a Republican from Union County. London says staff from his office reached out to her, and other school board members, to tell them about the plan. London was told if passed, it would force a recall vote for school board members.
CMS is one of the largest school districts in the country. It is dealing with several ongoing investigations in the wake of the controversial firing of superintendent Dr. Crystal Hill.
We’ve reached out to Willis’ office for comment and more information about the possible legislation. We’ll report details as soon as we get them.
