City of Columbus

“I commend Columbus Board of Education President Carol Perkins and the Board for suspending their search for a permanent Columbus City Schools superintendent, and instead refocusing their efforts on finding an interim superintendent. Their action will allow the Board the time needed to further engage the community, to receive the recommendations of the Columbus Education Commission and to align our collective responsibilities to educate and serve our children. By moving forward, together the Board, Mayor Coleman and the community will ensure that Columbus attracts the best superintendent for Columbus City Schools. The Board’s decision places the district on the path for success.”
