Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools will have remote learning day Tuesday after storm
Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools and other area districts will be closed or have remote learning days Tuesday as a result of winter weather hitting the area Saturday and Sunday.
A winter storm brought a mix of snow, sleet and freezing rain that started Saturday evening and continued Sunday, coating roadways and sidewalks with a sheen of ice. The area received a rare ice storm warning as a result of the winter precipitation. Temperatures are expected to dip into the single digits Monday night, and lows are projected to remain below freezing until next week.
CMS has announced plans for a remote, asynchronous instruction day for students on Tuesday. That means students will complete assignments on their own at home, without live virtual instruction. Assignments will be due the next scheduled school day.

“All CMS buildings will remain closed to allow our teams time to prepare schools and ensure safety,” a CMS spokesperson said in a statement Monday afternoon. “This includes clearing ice and debris from school campuses, checking bus routes and secondary roadways, and confirming that schools are ready for reopening.”
