CMS’ massive $2.5B bond passes

CHARLOTTE — Voters said yes to Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools’ $2.5 billion bond on Election Day.

It would pay for 30 of the district’s highest-priority projects, according to CMS.

Some existing schools would be replaced.

In other instances, the district wants to build new facilities.

District officials say construction will start on that list next summer.

Mecklenburg County taxpayers would see a tax increase of one cent per $100 of assessed value three different times in the years 2025, 2028, and 2029.

That means if your home’s value at the time is $300,000, you’ll pay $30 more a year.

Below are the latest unofficial results.
