Lawmaker proposes splitting CMS, holding recall vote for all 9 board members

North Carolina Rep. David Willis is drafting legislation to split Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools into smaller districts and trigger recall votes for all nine school board members. Willis said Wednesday that his staff had contacted board members to explain the plan and invite feedback over 10 days. He cited the district’s size and ongoing investigations as reasons for the proposal, which has not yet been introduced as a bill.
