Over 30,000 Charlotte students were absent on Monday, according to school officials.
Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools said on Tuesday that the attendance data showed that 30,399 students were absent. Initially, it was reported that 20,935 students were absent.
Officials said that the number is still unofficial and the data needs to be finalized by the state.
Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools did not say if the absences were connected to the ongoing immigration operation in the city.
With operation “Charlotte’s Web” entering its fourth day in the Charlotte Metro area, hundreds of students across four different schools staged walkouts to protest Border Patrol.
