‘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

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 football playoffs Week 2 schedule: Top games, injury questions for Dutch Fork

Dutch Fork football might start the postseason without one of its key players. Silver Foxes coach Tom Knotts said Wednesday that his son and senior quarterback Jaxon Knotts is “questionable” for Friday’s second-round Class 5A playoff game against Fort Mill. Jaxon Knotts suffered a thumb injury during the first half of the regular-season finale against White Knoll on Oct. 30. The senior has been rehabbing the injury multiple times a day to try and play in the game. Dutch Fork was off last week. Knotts, a two-year starter, is completing 71% of his passes for 2,102 yards and 29 total touchdowns this season. If Knotts can’t play, junior Jacob Brown would go in his absence. He has appeared in five games this season and is 16 of 23 for 131 yards. Dutch Fork and most of the other top teams in the area had first-round byes last week. The second round of the playoffs features many intriguing matchups. Here are some to keep an eye on Friday. Games to Watch (7) Fort Mill (9-2) at (2) Dutch Fork (9-0): First meeting between the two teams since 2013. Dutch Fork leads the all-time series, 6-4, including a 2-0 mark under Tom
