Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools has set three town hall meetings, starting late this month, to let the public get an update and share views with the 22 volunteer task forces studying community and education issues. The district has also posted a schedule of those task force meetings; get details of town halls and task force meetings here.
The first town hall will be Feb. 27 at Waddell Language Academy in southwest Charlotte, followed by one March 4 at North Meck in Huntersville and another March 11 at Butler High in Matthews. All are 6-8:30 p.m. The plan calls for Superintendent Heath Morrison to spend 45 minutes talking about the 2013-14 budget (he's also presenting an overview at Tuesday's school board meeting). Then participants will break into small groups to confer with the task forces they're interested in.

I recently attended one of the task force meetings. I would encourage anyone who has the time to do likewise.
But remember, they are a working group and you should be respectful and follow-up at a later time if you have questions or comments. Use one of these town hall meetings to do so.
These are public meetings doing public work with public money, therefore public input should be not only welcomed but accepted when offered. public comments should not be subject to censure.
My first guess is the lipstick meetings produce nothing ,but a pr campaign. CMS and Morrison its way beyond time for actions as they speak louder than words. The gum bumping period is over for Morrison. He has the BOE crying poor again with the budget that's a annual event. It's tired and its old been used before. How about DO something about it CMS?
Not 1 and I mean 1 change or result will come about from these town hall meeting but more waste of taxpayer money.
Heath Morrison is seeking to censure anyone who doesn't agree with him and fall in line to follow him. Charlotte should close its collective wallet and show Heath that this community has a voice in educating its children.
In order to achieve the above thoughts you must get ride of the board members who are being paid by outside influencers. We know who these crooks are that make poor decisions based on influence. Davis , Mcray , MORGAN, Maclrath, Joyce, EES the usual suspects. Davis , Richard and Joyce are up for election this year. Lets not forget as a public voting body the rats.
The disfunctional, racist CMS BOE hired Heath to do their bidding. Now Heath calls it "cultural competency". What utter BS.
We are year two into a private high school after the debacle of experiences the first child had a the supposedly top rated CMS high school. It is going well because the school deals with diversity and curriculum inclusively, and the administration doesn't have to make a stink about "cultural competency" because all kids try hard and are respectful. The open houses are overflowing, and we are so grateful our first child is thriving at an ivy league college in spite of the road blocks and reverse discrimination that was handed to him here in charlotte. Good luck!
This about sums it up from CMS " public may attend the events , BUT not participate" . So basically shut up and listen as we spew trash. Awesome I really wonder why CMS is losing its brightest and most engaged parents to Charters/Private Schools. Heath do you wonder? COmmission a study you tool.
10:43, that's pretty much standard practice for working meetings of any group -- if there is public input, it's limited to a formal comment period (or communication outside of meetings). The town halls and the online comment button are designed to let people speak up.
Watched Heath on Flashpoint this morning. Stopped counting the "...you know..." at 20. Did not count the "uhs". Can't we get a superintendent who can speak properly?
