A heartfelt recognition is owed to the community volunteers who advocated for this bond election. You dedicated countless hours knocking on doors, making phone calls, staffing information tables, organizing neighborhood meetings and sharing information with your neighbors. Your work was driven by genuine care for students and belief in the importance of addressing our facility needs.
While the outcome wasn't what we worked toward, your efforts were not in vain. You elevated the conversation, educated the community about enrollment challenges, and demonstrated what civic engagement looks like. Your passion and commitment remind us why this work matters, and we hope you'll continue to be advocates for our students as we determine next steps.
With gratitude,
Dr. Chip Kay, Superintendent &
Columbus Public Schools Board of Education
