County chair proposes meeting with CMS over controversial budget proposal Joe Bruno
Mecklenburg County Chairman George Dunlap offered a potential olive branch when he opened Tuesday’s Mecklenburg County Commissioners meeting on East Fourth Street.
He invited Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools Superintendent Earnest Winston and CMS leaders to meet with him, Vice Chair Elaine Powell and County Manager Dena Diorio.
“It is my hope that they will accept this invitation and that we can work towards addressing their concerns,” Dunlap said.
CMS has a lot of concerns. County commissioners are thinking about withholding $56 million from the district until leaders produce a plan aimed to improve educational outcomes and college and career readiness for all students. The district said the proposal would hurt students.
