Hendrick Automotive Group Brings Cut Sports Back to Charlotte-Mecklenburg Middle Scools

Budget cuts in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg School system threatened middle school athletics, leaving around 1,900 student-athletes without a team to play on. Initially, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools considered eliminating all middle-school sports; however, they later decided that they would be able to allocate enough funding to support football, volleyball and cheerleading in the fall; boys' and girls' basketball and cheerleading in the winter; and boys' and girls' track in the spring for the 2011-12 academic school-year.
