Charlotte Mecklenburg Schools just announced the new schedule for 10 schools in Charlotte. There was no request for community input, so we are offering it here: Do NOT sacrifice our children's childhood at the expense of saving transportation dollars. After-school sports are too important. After-school socializing is too important. After-school family time is too important. Keep the current schedules, and get our kids home to their childhood.


Here's a Charlotte Observer article with all of the details:

January 18, 2012

The administration can no longer ignore the scale of this opposition to the new school schedules. I am currently coordinating with three local news desks to ensure this momentum is translated into a formal request for a public hearing.

Fix the budget elsewhere. Transportation shouldnt be the reason our kids lose their free time.

My kid barely gets any time for homework as it is now. This is ridiculous.

They always try to save a buck on the backs of the families. Stop messing with our schedules!

Who decided this without asking a single parent? Utterly ridiculous CMS.

Kids need to be kids. Let them get home at a decent hour. Leave the schedule alone.
