| The city public school system began in 1880 when
voters approved a special school tax and elected a board of school commissioners.
Separate schools for white and black children opened in 1882. In 1957, the
Board of School Commissioners changed its name to the Charlotte City Board
of Education. Three years later, in 1960, the city and county systems combined
to form the Charlotte Mecklenburg School System. |
