CMS revamping its goals for the next 4 years, reflecting on goals missed in past years: Wednesday, Sept. 13

The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools district is working to revamp its district goals and guardrails for the next four years.These goals and guardrails range from increasing literacy in elementary school students to improving discipline disparities.For the last six years, CMS has used a list of goals and guard rails to guide policy and how schools run.For example, one of its goals in the past few years is to increase the number of Black and Hispanic students reading at an advanced level.The past state testing scores showed schools in the district saw progress and an increase in testing scores in both math and reading scores, although the gains they made fell short of the academic goals and guardrails the district has set for itself. One example of a goal for CMS is the district's goal of wanting 36% of Black and Hispanic students to be college and career-ready based on English test scores by the end of the 2022 school year. Data showed the district fell short and only hit 15.9% of Black and Hispanic students being college and career-ready based on English test scores.READ MORE: https://www.wcnc.com/article/news/education/cms-goals-guardrails-reflect-past-years/275-a4403c05-d96d-4445-906d-8a81bac6a8d3Watch Wake Up Charlotte each weekday morning from 4:30 to 7 a.m. on WCNC Charlotte, and as always, join the conversation on social media using #WakeUpCLT!
