Several speakers at Tuesday's Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools Board of Education meeting said the district's request for an additional $63 million to help raise teacher pay won't be enough to cover basic living expenses.
The public had its first opportunity to weigh in on the proposed $1.9 billion budget Tuesday night. Superintendent Crystal Hill is asking for $660 million from Mecklenburg County, which is $63 million more than the district got last year.
