HUNTERSVILLE, N.C. — Huntersville leaders will vote to show their disapproval of Charlotte-Mecklenburg schools’ billion-dollar bond request.
They voted last month to draft a resolution against it.
The CMS bond package includes 29 projects in the southern, eastern and western parts of the county.
The reason Huntersville leaders said they are against the bond because schools in Huntersville would not see much of the money.
They said the schools need it since the area is growing becoming overcrowded.
The Lake Norman area would get less than 5 percent of the money, which would go toward a new K-8 school.
Some sources told Channel 9 that this is the reason cities outside of Charlotte want to break away from CMS and create their own school district.
