CPS Board of Education Passes Resolution to Pursue a $53.5 M Facilities Bond Referendum
Since December of 2021 the school district and its Board of Education have been engaging parents, community members, and staff in a conversation about the future of facilities for Columbus Public Schools. At each session we ask the group for permission to move forward and provide more data and information for the community. We have received over 570 surveys back and from these groups 97% of the respondents have supported furthering the conversation. In addition a phone survey was conducted by Kordica Communications on the behalf of CPS.
