Creation of six regional "learning communities" in Charlotte-Mecklenburg district means elimination of 25 administrative jobs

Charlotte-Mecklenburg (N.C.) Superintendent Peter Gorman will cut 25 administrative jobs this summer and move dozens more into new community-based posts handling discipline and academic support. The shakeup is part of the district's shift to six regional "learning communities" designed to make the system more responsive to parents, principals and communities. Each learning community will have an administrator in charge of student discipline and a person handling special education. The change means 135 central-office staff will lose their jobs, but can compete for 110 new slots in community offices
