COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) — Columbus Board of Education member Jennifer Adair is speaking out after a recording between herself and board member Brandon Simmons went public.
Simmons is the board member at the center of a controversial leaked memo related to future school closings. The memo, which detailed strategies to control the narrative as to which district buildings would close, included suggestions such as dividing the teachers’ union from staff and moving meeting locations last minute.
He claims the document was a collaboration. The board has adamantly denied this, saying Simmons is the sole author.
