Growth prompts Charlotte (N.C.) district to look at year-round schedule
Even if voters approve a school-construction bond package in November, skyrocketing growth could force some Charlotte-Mecklenburg (N.C.) schools to switch to year-round classes or double sessions in 2008. Recommendations would likely come in late summer or early fall -- as a campaign for a record bond request hits the homestretch. District officials say they're analyzing options now so parents deciding where to enroll their children in 2008 would have plenty of warning.
