CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Charlotte-Mecklenburg school leaders picked apart two plans Tuesday evening to relieve overcrowding at two schools.Some board members wondered if the solution might be worse than the problem.CMS staff recommended moving Dilworth's magnet program to First Ward Elementary and letting Dilworth and Eastover split the neighborhoods.That recommendation would solve Eastover's overcrowding issue, but it got little support from the school board.The staff also recommended making few changes at East Mecklenburg High School.Some board members said they didn't understand why plans were dropped to reassign some of the 3,000 students at Myers Park High School.The board is scheduled to take a finel vote on student reassignment on November 10.
