北卡州议员拟提案拆分夏洛特-梅克伦堡学区 还将触发学区董事会罢免选举

北卡罗来纳州一名州议员正起草法案,计划拆分拥有近14万名学生的夏洛特-梅克伦堡学区(CMS),并触发学区董事会罢免选举。夏洛特-梅克伦堡学区董事会成员安娜·伦敦11月11日向WFAE证实,来自联合县的共和党州众议员戴维·威利斯的办公室已联系她与其他董事会成员,告知正在起草这项法案。伦敦表示,她不支持拆分学区,担心拆分会造成不公平;她愿意讨论法案想要解决的问题,但不认为拆分对学生有利。
《夏洛特纪事》最先于11日报道了这一消息,威利斯的办公室尚未回应置评请求。批评者长期认为,CMS规模过大、难以管理,拆成几个独立学区会更有效;但拆分学区的尝试过去从未成功,州立法委员会2018年研究过这一设想,最终没有建议拆分。近来CMS董事会备受争议:学区解雇了学监,多项财务调查正在进行,董事会还面临辞职呼声。
州议员们下周将回到罗利参加短期会期,之后州众议院的控制权将从共和党转交给在中期选举中大胜的民主党,法案最终能否列入议程尚不清楚。
State Lawmaker Drafting Bill to Split Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools
A North Carolina state lawmaker is drafting a bill to split the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools district, which serves about 140,000 students, Public Radio East reported Nov. 11. School board member Anna London confirmed that Representative David Willis's office had contacted board members about the draft. London said she does not support splitting the district.
The bill would also trigger a recall election for the school board. The Charlotte Ledger first reported the plan. The district, in Charlotte, Mecklenburg County, is one of the largest in the state, and the proposal is expected to draw wide debate when the legislature takes it up.
