After months of headlines, speculation and unanswered questions surrounding the investigation of CMS Superintendent Dr. Crystal Hill, we finally get a deeper look at what happened — and what Charlotte should expect to learn next.
CMS Board Member Dr. Charlitta Hatch joins R&D in the NC for what may be the most candid, extended public conversation yet about the superintendent saga.
Hatch explains why she led the charge this week to make the investigation findings public, why she believes the Board's handling of the situation has created a perception problem, and what she thinks parents and taxpayers may — and may not — ultimately find when the report is released.
Is there a major “smoking gun” coming? Why did the Board allow months of speculation to build? And what does transparency look like when personnel laws limit what elected officials can actually say?
We also zoom out to CMS's first week of school: what's going well, the enormous logistical challenge of getting students to and from school every day, and some of the bigger questions facing public education — including how AI should fit into the classroom.
It’s an unusually open conversation with the School Board member now pushing CMS to tell the public more.
Episode 26 of R&D in the NC with Tariq Bokhari and Larken Egleston.
