Charlotte Schools Look To Magnets To Close The Racial Gap

Charlotte Schools have a long history of dealing with segregation issues in public education. While current testing standards focus on the ever-present racial gap, notable efforts to address the issue were first started in Charlotte Schools in 1969. The Civil Rights movement brought the inequalities in educational opportunities of children to the forefront with a 1971 US Supreme Court ruling that imposed a 30-year term of mandatory busing.

The effects of busing were immediate. Charlotte Schools achieved integration numbers that earned the district nationwide acclaim throughout the ‘70s and ‘80s. Far from being the end of the story, parents of students in the Charlotte Schools had concerns. Many parents wanted the option to send their child to their neighborhood school, rather than having them ride an hour across town. The Charlotte Schools’ magnet program also fell under attack as parents fought the limited number of slots allotted for white and non-white students.

While busing sought to bring inner city minority children to more affluent school districts, the magnet system sought to attract middle class families and above to poverty ridden Charlotte Schools. The Charlotte Schools offer magnet programs for gifted and talented, language immersion, math and science, global studies, and many more.

Charlotte Schools’ magnet programs are free, public, and based on a lottery system. Dissatisfaction with the magnet methods came to a head in 1997 when a family sued Charlotte Schools because their child was denied admission to a magnet where all the non-white slots had been filled. In 1999 a judge declared that Charlotte Schools had already achieved integration, and repealed the mandatory busing statute. While that motion was soon overturned, it was reinstated in 2002, and Charlotte Schools have been “colorblind” ever since.

Where does this leave the Charlotte Schools in 2007? With many of the same issues. While many Charlotte Schools are well rated and successful on state testing measures, those that aren’t still tend to be in high-poverty areas. And the national racial gap that shows African-American students and other minorities (except Asian-Americans) lagging far behind white students in state test scores is still huge.

Despite the innovative programs offered by many magnets in Charlotte Schools, both white and black parents struggle with the issue of where to send their children. Middle class families have to decide if a gifted program in a high poverty school will be better that the regular classes at their neighborhood school. Will a child’s education fall behind from attending one of Charlotte Schools’ lower rated facilities? Or can the strength of the magnet rise above the discipline and behavior issues that often haunt at-risk schools? Success of the magnet program in Charlotte Schools may prove to have as strong and long-lasting implications as the busing programs of the ‘70s and ‘80s.

BONUS : Charlotte Schools Team Up With Local Businesses To Improve Schools

Office Max Donates Funds to Charlotte Schools

One Charlotte Schools ’ member started off the school year with a big boon. Nations Ford Elementary School has received a $5,000 donation from Office Max. This donation is linked to the opening of a brand new Office Max in Rivergate Town Center on Sept. 6. Charlotte School’s teachers from Nations Ford Elementary Schools were invited to the grand opening ceremony where they could purchase additional school supplies for their classrooms. This donation will help the teachers get much needed supplies for their students and classrooms.

Along with the $5,000 donation, teachers received pre-packaged “goody” bags filled with office supplies and barbeque from Damon’s restaurant. The whole ceremony had a very festive feel. Customers can sign –up for a give away featuring $1,000 shopping sprees and other prizes.

Charlotte Schools Join Up with The United Way

The United Way has a long history in the Charlotte area. The United Way currently operates three programs with the Charlotte Schools: Right Moves for You, A Child’s Place and Communities in Schools. Charlotte Schools launched its United Way fundraising campaign on September 21. A rally was held where the Charlotte Schools’ Superintendent Peter Gorman and United Way 2006 regional campaign chair Michael Baker spoke. Preschoolers from the Charlotte Schools also joined the rally in order to say thank you to the donors who help meet the year’s goal of $44 million. This partnership not only raises funds for the students and children in the Charlotte area but allows students to interact with adults who offer positive influences.

Charlotte Schools’ School Resource Officer Program

The Charlotte Schools’ School Resource Officer Program is a joint program with Charlotte Schools and the local police force. The program puts police officers in Charlotte Schools were they can help teach the students about character and safety while providing advice on security to Charlotte Schools. A current School Resource Officer Robert Kierce received a standing ovation after returning from ten months of active duty in Iraq to Charlotte School’s Jay M. Robinson School.

Kierce was very surprised when the students and Parents welcomed him back to the School Resource Officer position at Jay M. Robinson School. Originally when he left for Iraq with the Marine Corps in June of 2005, the Jay M. Robinson School gave him a send off parade and gave him gifts of phone cards and coloring books for Iraqi children.

Kierce, who has a forensics science degree, will spend time in science classrooms this school year, as well as in history classes, where he plans to talk about some of his experiences in Iraq. He is slowly returning to the routine as the school year begins. Kierce has worked with the Charlotte Schools in the School Resource Officer Program for about seven years.
