Your Schools: Entrepreneur High making public appeal for survival

http://obsyourschools.blogspot.com/2015/02/entrepreneur-high-making-public-appeal.html

Tuesday, February 3, 2015. Entrepreneur High making public appeal for survival. When the state Board of Education voted to revoke the charter. Of the all-but-defunct Entrepreneur High, it left only a small sliver of possibility for the school to ever reopen. It's unclear whether the charter school's board is going to pursue it, but that hasn't stopped its leaders from launching a public opinion campaign in favor of the school. The school has appealed. Read the story here. Posted by Andrew Dunn. Hmmnobody...

Your Schools: CMS to tweak next year's academic calendar

http://obsyourschools.blogspot.com/2015/02/cms-to-tweak-next-years-academic.html

Thursday, February 19, 2015. CMS to tweak next year's academic calendar. Good news, teachers: You're now likely going to have the day before Thanksgiving off of work. But you'll also have to report for duty a day earlier in the fall. Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools is planning to ask the school board at next week's meeting to approve a few changes to the academic calendar for the 2015-16 school year. It took me a few moments to figure out the changes, but here they are in a nutshell:. Posted by Andrew Dunn.

Your Schools: Charter schools got letter grades, too. Did they outperform CMS?

http://obsyourschools.blogspot.com/2015/02/charter-schools-got-letter-grades-too.html

Friday, February 13, 2015. Charter schools got letter grades, too. Did they outperform CMS? Even though all the attention was on Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools when letter grades were handed out. To each campus in North Carolina last week, charter schools got letter grades, too. It's very close (and probably debatable), but CMS appears to have done better than the county's charters. Here's the grade distribution for Mecklenburg County charter schools:. Four schools earned an A (27 percent). 17 schools ear...

Your Schools: Guilford County Schools extends Mo Green's contract

http://obsyourschools.blogspot.com/2015/02/guilford-county-schools-extends-mo.html

Wednesday, February 4, 2015. Guilford County Schools extends Mo Green's contract. I've seen some rumblings in the blog comments here about Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools wanting to bring back Maurice "Mo" Green. To be the new superintendent. In case you forgot, he was the CMS general counsel and later deputy superintendent before being named to the top job in Guilford County Schools. Not sure if this news would have any bearing on Green coming to Charlotte after Superintendent Ann Clark leaves in 2016.

Your Schools: Less than 1 percent of CMS students are unvaccinated

http://obsyourschools.blogspot.com/2015/02/less-than-1-percent-of-cms-students-are.html

Tuesday, February 10, 2015. Less than 1 percent of CMS students are unvaccinated. Immunization is again a hot topic. After a string of measles outbreaks at Disneyland. In a Chicago day care. If your child is in Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools, there's only a very small chance the student sitting next to them hasn't been vaccinated against the disease. State law requires public school students to show their immunization history before being allowed to attend class. But it allows two exemptions. Not a word f...

http://obsyourschools.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html

Thursday, August 28, 2014. CMS buses weren't smooth sailing for all on first day. Superintendent Heath Morrison and other CMS leaders proudly reported that there were no issues with transportation on the first day of classes this week, on what was a pretty smooth day overall. The CMS Facebook page. One parent said her child waited on a broken down bus for an hour before she picked him up from school. Others reported delays from a half hour to more than an hour and a half. However, we do consider a succes...

http://obsyourschools.blogspot.com/2015/02/superintendent-job-requires-ann-clark.html

Thursday, February 12, 2015. Superintendent job requires Ann Clark to move to Mecklenburg County. Even though Ann Clark has been with Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools for decades, her new job as superintendent is requiring her to move. Clark has long lived on the shore of Lake Norman in Mooresville. That's in Iredell County. State law, however, requires school superintendents to live. In the district that they lead. See Clark's contract here. Posted by Andrew Dunn. February 12, 2015 at 6:02 AM.
