CMS will explore privatizing services: "(By Eric Frazier, efrazier@charlotteobserver.com) The Charlotte-Mecklenburg school board moved Tuesday toward privatizing more of its operations, overriding some members' concerns that it might cost staffers their jobs or hurt services for children.
Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools already allows private companies to handle more than $30million worth of services, officials said. But some members believe the school system can save more money by expanding those efforts."
