CMAE's Government Relations Committee will host a Legislative Breakfast on Monday, October 28, at the Covenant Presbyterian Church Fellowship Hall, 100 East Morehead Street, from 9 to 11 a.m. CMAE members are invited to attend.
The Mecklenburg County legislative delegation (members of the state House and Senate representing residents of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County) have been invited to the breakfast, as well as members of the Mecklenburg County Commission and the CMS Board of Education.
Committee members will introduce CMAE's four recommended candidates for the CMS Board. Earlier this month, the committee interviewed nine candidates for the three at-large board seats, and asked general and specific issues around advocacy and policy-making which impacts public education in Charlotte, Mecklenburg County, and North Carolina.
Based upon candidates' responses and its deliberations, the committee recommended candidates Elyse Dashew, Lenora Shipp, Stephanie Sneed, and Monty Witherspoon to CMAE Association Representatives at their monthly meeting on October 17. The CMAE Executive Board approved the recommendations.
Current officeholders and the recommended candidates will have opportunities to speak and to answer questions from members in attendance.
Committee chairs and members also plan to review CMAE's and NCAE's legislative agenda for 2019-20, and to discuss developments from the current biennial session.
