A lot of people are paying close attention to the Columbus City School Board, and the members of one task force.
Columbus City Schools postponed community engagement meetings following a leaked strategy document that has union and community members outraged.
At this point, families within the district say they haven't completely lost hope, but that they are definitely watching what's unfolding very closely. I believe that releasing this report is another step as the board makes efforts to heal and rebuild trust with our labor partners, our staff, parents, students and our community at large," said Vera.Simmons has since been removed from his board committees. He said in a statement that the report was based on false information; but he has not spoken on-camera since the investigative document was released.The controversy has been a major focus for families across the district.
"There's so many different people that want to do right by our young people," said Vincent Coleman. "Our children. I just hope that we can alleviate some of the outer distractions and really get to the heart of what's best for our kids."
