Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools is one of North Carolina’s largest public school districts. The district has recently faced staffing challenges; according to human resources officials, more than 2,100 teachers left last year and nearly 400 positions remain unfilled ahead of the next school year (source). This ongoing teacher shortage has raised concerns among students about adequate staffing for their education.
