CBUS SCHOOL CLOSURES

THE STATE'S LARGEST SCHOOL DISTRICT IS LOOKING TO CLOSE SOME SCHOOLS. ON TUESDAY NIGHT THE COLUMBUS CITY SCHOOLS FACILITIES TASK FORCE SHARED ITS RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CLOSURES WITH THE SCHOOL BOARD. 
THE TASK FORCE SPENT MONTHS MAKING THESE RECOMMENDATIONS AND THEY BELIEVE THAT 20 SCHOOLS AND OTHER BUILDINGS IN THE DISTRICT SHOULD BE CLOSED. EACH CLOSURE WOULD COME WITH CONSOLIDATION INTO OTHER SCHOOLS, REDISTRICTING, AND OTHER CHANGES. IT'S A MOVE NOT SITTING WELL WITH MANY PARENTS, WHO ARE ALSO QUESTIONING THE PEOPLE CHOSEN TO BE ON THE TASK FORCE APPROVED BY THE BOARD OF EDUCATION. THE TASK FORCE SAYS, IN THE COMING WEEKS, THEY STILL WANT TO HEAR FROM THE COMMUNITY ABOUT THE RECOMMENDATIONS THEY MADE BECAUSE, THEY SAID, THEIR FINAL DECISION WILL BE MADE IN JUNE.
