CMS: Gangs in School

A report about gangs in CMS schools was released this week. The report shows the district has identified more than 450 known gang members who attend CMS.

School leaders will work with the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department and they also hope new anti-street gang legislation that goes into effect in early December will help. The state legislature voted to make gang recruiting a felony offense. Source: WSOC-TV
