3 CMS board members who voted to keep Hill get key role in next superintendent pick
Three Charlotte-Mecklenburg school board members who voted against firing former Superintendent Crystal Hill will now help lead the search for her replacement. The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Board of Education announced Wednesday that Anna London, Cynthia Stone, Monty Witherspoon and board Chair Gregory “Dee” Rankin will serve on its Superintendent Search Ad Hoc Committee. London will chair the four-member group. London, Stone and Witherspoon were part of the 5-4 minority that opposed terminating Hill’s contract for convenience on Sept. 22.
