CMS assured parents that school is safe from mold. Then a mom commissioned her own tests

Students at a Charlotte-Mecklenburg school are spending another year in a building plagued by complaints of extreme heat and suspected mold, with parents questioning whether the district has done enough to address potentially unsafe conditions. At Chantilly Montessori, a former teacher says classroom temperatures soared to 95 degrees, while independent testing commissioned by parents has since identified elevated mold indicators in two classrooms. Despite months of complaints about the aging building, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools maintains that its own testing found no concerning airborne mold levels. The school with about 300 students on East Independence Boulevard is scheduled to move into a renovated building in August 2027, after which the existing Chantilly campus will be demolished. Until then, students and staff will continue using the aging facility, built in 1951. CMS did not respond to The Charlotte Observer’s requests for comment about the conditions, the district’s testing or its plans to address parents’ concerns. Charlotte parents seek answers about mold Sasha Vater, whose son attends Chantilly Montessori, said her concerns began when his teacher unexpectedly left her job just days before classes started in August. Vater said the teacher had warned her about suspected mold in the building’s HVAC system and recurring

HS Playoffs Roundup: Dutch Fork wins big. Irmo, Ridge View, Mid-Carolina advance

Jaxon Knotts’ thumb was fine — and so was the Dutch Fork football team. The Silver Foxes (10-0) turned in a dominating performance Friday in defeating Fort Mill 42-14 in the second round of the Class 5A playoffs. Dutch Fork will host Byrnes in the third round next week. Dutch Fork (10-0) extended its home-playoff winning streak to 31 games and has won 10 games in a season for the 16th time in the last 17 years The talk leading up to the game was if Knotts, the Dutch Fork quarterback, was going to play in the game. The senior injured his right thumb in the regular-season finale on Oct. 30. Knotts stayed busy during the off week and didn’t practice again until Wednesday. Dutch Fork coach Tom Knotts, Jaxon’s father, said he even thought about going with backup QB Jacob Brown and not playing his son unless he was absolutely needed. But Jaxon pleaded with his dad to let him play. “I spent a lot of time in the training room and got all the swelling out, and it was just managing the pain,” Jaxon Knotts said. “That was something I could do. I just put a glove on

‘We are a mess.' CMS board creates committee to examine its own problems

After weeks of turmoil , controversies and occasional infighting , the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools board Tuesday agreed on at least one thing: It needs to take a hard look at itself. The board voted unanimously to establish an ad hoc committee tasked with evaluating its governance practices and recommending reforms, nearly seven weeks after the contentious firing of Superintendent Crystal Hill. The move follows repeated calls from board members and the public to address concerns about accountability, transparency and their ability to work together. At the September meeting where Hill was fired and board member Stephanie Sneed stepped down from her post as board chair, board member Monty Witherspoon called the board “dysfunctional” and said it had “spiraled into chaos.” Board member Haynes, who spearheaded the proposal, acknowledged the board’s struggles in urging her colleagues to support the committee. “A few weeks ago, one of us said it plainly: ‘We are a mess,’” Haynes said. “We’ve sounded the alarm. Now are we prepared to change?” The newly established Board Strategy, Governance, and Operations Committee will develop recommendations for improving board operations, strengthening governance practices and creating a strategic plan for the board itself. Its responsibilities include evaluating the board’s existing Student

Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools reveals how it'll handle finances after top staff leave

Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools will turn to an outside consulting firm to help oversee its finances after its chief financial officer retires at the end of December, the district announced Tuesday. CMS has selected HIL Group, a firm that specializes in supporting North Carolina school districts, to provide financial management, budget development and operational support beginning Jan. 1, 2027. The arrangement comes amid significant turnover in district leadership. Chief Financial Officer Kelly Kluttz is one of five members of former Superintendent Crystal Hill’s 10-person cabinet who left or announced plans to leave CMS, as previously reported by The Charlotte Observer. “Our priority is to maintain strong financial oversight, ensure uninterrupted operations, and provide a transparent, cost-conscious solution while the district addresses this critical leadership need,” a news release states. Rather than immediately appointing a new CFO, CMS will designate an existing employee as its statutory finance officer while the consulting firm provides specialized financial support. The employee, whom CMS has not identified, will retain their current duties and will not receive a CFO salary. CMS Chief of Strategy and Innovation Beth Thompson will coordinate budget communications with the school board and public. The initial agreement with HIL Group, formally known as Hurd,
