If you ask Charlotte dad Zacchary McLean, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools failed a pretty important test on Thursday.

“You guys didn’t do your job,” McLean said.

He said the subject of this test was trust and safety. Thursday, McLean dropped his 8-year-old son Carter off at the bus stop to go to school.

“Seen him get on, seen the doors close,” McLean said. “I said alright, I’m headed off to work.”

McLean went home for about 20 minutes before heading to work. Then he saw something that stumped him.

“My son Carter walks right back through the door, and we’re like how are you here, and why are you here,” McLean asked. “We get a knock on our door from two concerned parents saying they drove Carter home from the bus stop. He said he had to get off the bus because it was overcrowded.”

The City of Charlotte North Carolina

Charlotte is an upscale, urban city located in the Piedmont region of North Carolina. It is home to many Fortune 500 companies, and is ranked as one of the top cities for jobs.

Charlotte is a city that is perfect for everyone. You can find festivals and concerts, art exhibits, and plenty of sports. The climate in the area is ideal for all four seasons, and winters can be quite mild. This is one of the reasons why Charlotte is becoming an increasingly popular destination for retirement.

The area was originally inhabited by Catawba Indians. It was later incorporated into the town of Charlotte in 1768. At that time, it was considered to be a crossroads in the region.

As the population grew, a court house was built. Later, a street network was laid out. Several industries were established in the region, including a cotton gin and a cotton oil mill. Other factories produced gunpowder and wool goods.

In 1852, the Charlotte and South Carolina Railroad was completed. The railroad’s presence paved the way for a significant boom. Charlotte’s prosperity was a part of the nationwide boom following the Civil War.

After the Civil War, a number of large banks began to take over smaller, local banks. They eventually expanded across the country. Bank of America, Wells Fargo, and Wachovia are among the largest. Lowe’s, American Airlines, and Duke Energy are among the other Fortune 500 companies that have headquarters in the city.
