## Resource

Three top leaders in Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools—Chief Financial Officer, Chief Human Resources Officer, and Deputy Superintendent—are retiring in January, marking a major leadership shakeup. Their combined experience and critical roles in budgeting, personnel, and education strategy will be hard to replace. Notably, Dr. Melissa Balknight, who briefly served as interim superintendent this summer, brings deep institutional knowledge to the table. The school board now faces the challenge of filling these vital positions while maintaining stability and momentum for the district’s future.
