District tries to address concerns about too much bureaucracy.

To make North Carolina's largest school district feel smaller, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools Superintendent Peter Gorman has unveiled a plan to shift decisions about discipline, transportation and other issues closer to schools and families.

The concept has previously won support from several school board members, a high-profile task force and parents who have complained about the system's bureaucracy.
