A North Carolina judge has dismissed a lawsuit filed by parents in Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools who want to do away with students in virtual classrooms. The lawsuit filed last September alleged that student's productivity levels dropped without being in-person. The group also argued that kids without computers would fall behind if there was no real classroom instruction.
The Charlotte Mecklenburg School board had an emergency meeting and voted 8-1 to continue remote learning for several more weeks. Many CMS schools were scheduled to resume in-person learning next week. The action was taken on the recommendation of health officials as they watch the increase of viral spread.
The Charlotte-Mecklenburg School Board has voted for all K-12 students to learn remotely starting on Dec. 14. A vote that passed by a 6-3 margin on Tuesday night. However, no changes for Pre-K instruction that will still be offered in-person.
