Over the past decade, the school system has increased from about 20,000 to 27,000 students.
The number of white students dropped by about 3,000 during that period, while the number of black students has more than doubled.
The school system is mirroring population changes in the county.
Charles County now has the fastest-growing black population of any large county in the nation except the Atlanta suburbs.
