Columbus City Schools superintendent discusses school closures [Video]

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Columbus City Schools announced they will be closing five schools and one administrative building in the coming years after a vote on Tuesday.

10TV’s Tracy Townsend sat down with CCS Superintendent Dr. Angela Chapman to discuss what this means going forward for the district.

“As we think about these five impacted school communities, first we want to make sure that we are educating our community and informing them so they are aware of the changes,” Chapman said. “Particularly for our students and staff at these five impacted schools, we will be working alongside them, side-by-side supporting them during this transition process.”

She said the district will be having conversations with the impacted school communities to work on the boundary decisions for which schools the impacted students will attend in the future.
