All students will develop the necessary skills to be successful in life.
 
 
Short-Term Suspension Center Mission Statement

The CMS short-term out-of-school suspension centers are dedicated to students' intellectual, personal, social, and physical growth. Our teaching practices are both reflective and responsive to the needs of our students. Through diversified experiences, the students we serve achieve readiness to return to their home school and succeed in a safe and caring environment.


The Short Term Suspension Center

Parents/guardians of students who have received a referral for a level I, II, or III offense warranting an out-of-school suspension will be given the option to attend one of the short-term suspension sites. Students suspended for a period of one to ten days or given additional days by the Charlotte Mecklenburg Schools (CMS) Superintendent (or designee) may receive the option of attending a short-term site where they can complete their school assignments and receive credit for attending school. It is also designed to provide a structured, restorative, and individualized learning environment. There are seven (7) short-term sites provided by Mecklenburg County Parks and Recreation at no cost to the district.  All sites will be staffed by CMS employees (Teachers, TAs, and/or BMTs).
