February 14 2024- The Columbus City Schools are set to establish a task force by next month to assist in determining which school buildings to close by August 2025, as revealed in a facilities task force report presented by Superintendent Angela Chapman. The report highlights the need for consolidation among the district’s 113 school buildings to reduce costs, with 47% of schools having gone without major renovations for over 50 years. Additionally, the report notes that Columbus City Schools spend more on facilities maintenance per school compared to similar districts nationally, potentially influenced by the age of the buildings.
