Columbus City Schools

It's the third time in the last ten years that the rating system for Ohio schools and buildings has changed, with each change said to be a way of making the system of grading schools easier to understand.

During the first three days of classes for Columbus City Schools, half of the students failed to attend.

Columbus City Schools welcomed students back to in-person learning on Monday, one week after the start of a teachers' strike.

Details on the tentative agreement that ended the recent Columbus teachers' strike have yet to be released but both the Columbus school board and the union will be meeting separately over the weekend.

The Columbus Education Association has told its members not to report to picket lines Thursday morning.

The Center for Christian Virtue is putting up billboards around Columbus, telling parents they can use Ohio EdChoice scholarships to move their students out of Columbus City Schools.

A post on the Columbus Education Association's Facebook page says the two sides will meet at 1 p.m. Wednesday.

Columbus students will likely start the school year online tomorrow. To prepare families, the district is holding what it calls a "Virtual Family Engagement Session" tonight.

A special Columbus Board of Education lasted about four hours Monday evening, but ended with no new developments in the district’s first teachers’ strike in nearly a half-century.

The teachers union voted overwhelmingly Sunday night to reject the school board's "last, best and final offer" for a new contract.
