Last night, members of the Elizabeth community gathered to discuss some of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools planning and proposed options to deal with overcrowding at Eastover Elementary. It was a good meeting and we had a productive dialogue.


Here are some key dates that you should be aware of:

• Tonight, Sept. 29, 6:30 -- 8:30 PM, Myers Park High School - CMS-hosted
• Meeting to discuss options (open to public).
• Thursday, Oct. 8, 6:30 -- 8:30 PM, Myers Park High School - CMS-hosted
• Meeting to discuss options (open to public).

• Board of Education plus CMS staff.
• Oct. 27 -- CMS staff to present recommendations.
• Nov. 4 -- Election Day.
• Nov. 10 -- Board of Education votes on option(s).

We don't want to overload the entire community with school-related issues, so if Elizabeth's place in CMS is important to you (whether you have children at Eastover or not), and you would like to receive regular email updates, or would like to volunteer or be involved in working towards a Elizabeth community solution, please email Winn Maddrey at winn@topicseducation.com.
