Ericka Ellis-Stewart, recently elected to chair the Charlotte-Mecklenburg school board, will get a chance to meet President Obama when he visits Charlotte tomorrow.
Details weren't immediately available; Ellis-Stewart is in Raleigh this afternoon meeting with a legislative education committee. But the district confirmed that the reason a special meeting on the superintendent search was announced for Wednesday morning, then postponed, was that the chair was invited to be part of the visit.
The president is scheduled to fly into the Charlotte airport and make a quick visit to the Freightliner truck plant in nearby Mount Holly.

Why doesn't she ask him why Obama's kids go to private school?
Because every President within the past several decades has had kids in private school for the same reason - security. It's too disruptive for a public school to have Secret Service shadowing students.
Another "quick" re-election speech, courtesy of taxpayers
A deeper question for Ms. Stewart is why she does not send her SON to Harding University home of the Broad Prize winning CMS district she heads? I could care less what Obama does with his , but she kept her own family shielded during her campaign. Who is paying for her trip out of town? Could have used that dough for IPads. Can Eric Davis go with her and hold the door? Will Timmy Chamber boy Morgan meet Obama at Freightliner ? The 3 stooges at it again. I am sure Obama is wanting to meet Bolyn in Charlotte tomorrow.
Because her SON earned admission into NC Science and Math in Durham. You get in, you go. Back off!
The hyphen ladies on CMS BOE.
Why are the listed times off by more than 3 hours?
Ms. Ellis=Stewart's sone was accepted in the NC Math and Science school. Ms. Ellis-Stewart spoke against the plans for Harding high school and no doubt is concerned about the difficulties there.
Anon 3:28
President Obama said Monday his daughters could not get the same quality of education from D.C. public schools that they get from the private Sidwell Friends school.
The president's comments came in an appearance on the "Today" television show as he was being interviewed in the White House by NBC's Matt Lauer.
As with you, I give Obama a pass sending his kids to private school because he is the President.
At least he had the guts to state DC schools were not good enough.
4:26 p.m., if that question is for me I don't understand it. What listed times?
Well, the AP got where Mt. Holly is all wrong so maybe the times of his visit?
Obama will talk about the economy at a Freightliner plant in Mount Holly, a community of 14,000 people about 15 miles south of Charlotte. It's one of three Freightliner plants in the Charlotte area.
Ann:
Each comment has a date and time. Your time shows 2:04pm on my screen.
Note that Obama stopped the Vouchers in Washington, and they were only reinstated when Bonner and the Republicans held out during the budget showdown.
So strange he took them away from the kids who needed them the most, to avoid the horrid schools in DC.
Why did they choose her?
Hmm, times are correct on my screen. Don't know what's up with yours. When we started using Google Chrome and Gmail, there was a thing where I had to reset from Greenwich Mean Time, and until I did that I was getting some really strange time displays. Wonder if you've got something like that going on?
I hope she asks him when he is going to get off the testing bandwagon.
Just when we thought we were safe from Charlotte comes the educational riff-raff. Gaston County's Smart Boards were paid for by benefactors that were formerly in Charlotte. Thanks for sending them over here CMS.
IDIOT- Its spelled son and I can see you were probably in one of Ericka's drop-out prevention programs. Probably a supporter mentally of LIFT as well. She rn from CMS with her kid , because she is a quiter! She lost the fight along with KOJO on the school closing's IDIOT. Got it now take your mental break and go smoke your pipe hoser !
NO DATA!
NO PEACE!
Follow the Money
Why doesnt "HUGH" ask the state legislature for a pay raise. His asking for a 2-3% raise in Charlotte amounts to $100-150. The only thing that will get teachers back to keeping up with inflation is the STATE pay raise.
Hugh does not have the guts to ask the state folks for a freaking coke ! Now Ericka may have brought her brother Kojo with her then she can get some folks to listen. As the junior Sharpton will stage a sit in like he did last year and got arrested. Hugh is so far over his head he has no idea what to talk about or better yet what to say. He may as well have the D-6 lacky with him on the trip. What a show of representatives CMS sends up north no wonder they dont send us any budget money. Heck send Dashew the Cashew with some muffins like she brings into CMS offices for her little pow wow's weekly with Ericka Stewart. Just a slight conflict ?
LMMFAO

Got it now take your mental break and go smoke your pipe , hoser !
And I am the dropout...
The hours were wrong but the minutes correct a couple days ago. Maybe CMS has partnered with The Dharma Project.
How do the Amish tell time?
Hey, the actor on the BOE who graduated from Charlotte Country Day School didn't get this much grief. Is Anthony Foxx's kid still at CCDS?
I asked a CMS high school student once when a class period ended. She couldn't tell me but knew the class ended when the big hand was close to the number 9. I guess telling time was never on the standardized test. I can't make this stuff up.
Frustrated actor...
No Obama. SImple.
Yes Foxx still has 1 kid at CCDS and 1 in CMS. I assume when CMS closes he will have 2 in CCDS just my math.
I hope Mrs. Stewart asked Obama what he thought of our school system with no direction plus no super plus failing track record plus no funding plus no leadership. Probably not she is smart enought to give the the family fist bump and onward. Homey its the way baby jsut dont screw it up before the DNC kid.
Why is this even important?
