North CarolinaEs 2005 school crime report showed Charlotte had one of the lowest crime rates, and led education reporters to question the statistics in the stateEs largest urban school district where complaints about ineffective discipline were common. A series of media stories showing incidents of violence and threatening behavior that were not reported to the state prompted Charlotte school officials to launch an inquiry and adopt significant changes in discipline policies.
