Columbus City Schools Weighs Transportation Cuts, Possible School Closures

Columbus City Schools is considering closing schools, repurposing buildings and replacing district transportation for high school students with public transit passes as it works to balance its budget.

WBNS-TV’s Amy Steigerwald reports that the district identified 10 buildings last month for possible closure. Under the current proposal, most of the savings would come from eliminating staff positions.

The transportation proposal would provide Central Ohio Transit Authority passes to high school students in place of district transportation.
