North Carolina Appeals Court Sides with Charter Schools in Charlotte

http://www.charlotte.com/local/story/480317.html

Five North Carolina charter schools have won another round in their quest for a larger share of local education money. A three-judge panel agreed with the charter schools, saying the $165,000 a Superior Court judge awarded them in 2006 is not enough. Richard Vinroot, an attorney for the charter schools, said the Charlotte-Mecklenberg system owes the schools $457,146 based on that ruling alone -- and more than $2.1 million if the district also complies with a January Superior Court ruling in a related case. CMS lawyers say the school board may ask the N.C. Supreme Court to review the case.
