CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Board of Education approved a calendar for the 2015-2016 school year at its May 27 meeting.

Prior to the vote, a steering committee made up of parents, community members, teachers, principals and other CMS staff met to develop several different calendar options. Approximately 5,000 employees, parents, students and community members participated in an online poll May 1-8. The survey results showed that 2,870 participants preferred option A.

Calendar option A, which nearly 60 percent of poll participants preferred, was adopted.

The approved 2015-2016 calendar meets the requirements of the North Carolina law, North Carolina Board of Education and Charlotte-Mecklenburg Board of Education policies.
