CHARLOTTE, NC — Tuesday, we will get a better idea of the number of open teacher positions in Charlotte-Mecklenburg schools. Β Superintendent Dr. Heath Morrison is holding a back-to-school briefing as the district counts down to the first day of classes next Monday.
A new elementary school focusing on science, technology, engineering and math is ready to roll for the start of the school year. Β Palisades Park Elementary has 39 classrooms loaded with the latest tools and toys: 10 iPads and an Apple TV in each room, and an emphasis on engineering brought to life in a unique environment.
“Our building has been built to show different inner workings through Plexiglas in the ceiling. Β So the students can see all the different pipes and how things work,” said Palisades Park Elementary Principal Gina O’Hare.
Money from the 2007 bond referendum built Palisades Park. Β The school will help relieve overcrowding at Winget Park and Lake Wylie Elementary.
