A classroom in Charlotte-Mecklenburg s Community House Middle School displays COVID-19 safety signs.
Monday s weekly tally of COVID-19 cases in Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools showed the lowest weekly number of employee cases since mid-October when the vast majority of students were still learning remotely.
In the week that ended Friday, 14 of about 19,100 employees tested positive. That’s down from 24 the previous week and a high of 115 cases in mid-January, when community spread was rampant and in-person classes were temporarily canceled.

In CMS and many surrounding districts, April 12 marked the first time middle and high schools opened under Plan A, with six-foot distancing no longer required.

Her son, Jamar Price, is a running back on the team.
With limited capacity due to COVID restrictions, she started the petition asking the district to allow more people in for playoff games.
“We always send out the link for tickets and within an hour of the link going out live, I started getting emails about, ‘sold out,’ ‘tickets not available, ” Parker says.
