CHARLOTTE, N.C. — A Myers Park High School student could face charges for the alleged assault of a teacher on Thursday. Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools confirmed the incident on Friday.

Robert Folk will be the new principal at Myers Park High School, Charlotte-Mecklenburg ... He was also a CMS teacher at Mayfield Alternative High in 1991 and Providence High from 1990-1991.

Charlotte’s Myers Park High has just over 3,400 students ... biggest challenge was having to look for six additional teachers after school started and CMS realized the projection was too low.
