CMS students walked out of class Wednesday morning to protest gun violence.
Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools said it was made aware of this planned protest and said it had safety and security measures in place to ensure the walkout is without incident.
"At Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools, our top priority is to support the academic and social-emotional needs of our students while maintaining a safe and orderly learning environment for all," CMS said in a written statement to WCNC Charlotte.

"We welcome the opportunity to work with any student or student group to discuss appropriate and creative ways to do so while at school," CMS continued.
