High poverty and high need students. But Board Members say that is not the case. In fact, that is the opposite. In fact, they say busing kids all over the county could be very expensive and they believe there are other ways to decrate diverse schools. But that did not stop parents dressing the School Board Last night. Some parents warned if cms disrupts their neighborhood schools that they would move to another area.

What is next at the Board Members next meeting they will assignment plan and a consultant will be hired to navigate Board Members through this and if approved, the change could happen to your Childs School and options in the 20172018 school year.

Shutout not given an opportunity to speak to the council. And the ordinance they say will force Business Owners to go against their religious objections and citing Public Safety saying transgender residents could expose women and children to predators but supporters held a News Conference they delivered boxes of petitionses to councilmembers saying everyone deserves Legal Protection and urged councilmembers to pass the ordinance who prohibit any passenger from hire vehicle for discriminating against gays and lesbians and ban bars, hotels and restaurants from refusing to serve if gays and lez yaps. A pastor in favor of the ordinance, he says this law will not benefit predators. The law will not help them in anyway. If they are going to do wrong they will do it without a law.

Rain uprooted trees. This tree fell on queens road in charlotte. There are similar scenes across the charlotte area and Pamela Escobar joins us live from willmore neighborhood centuries down today and the next sound you hear could be chainsaws . That is right.
