The Columbus City Schools Facilities Task Force shared its recommendations for school and building closures with the school board Tuesday night.
Of the six varying scenarios presented to the board, it would include about 20 closures of buildings and schools. Each closure would come with consolidation into other schools, redistricting or other changes.
"It does feel like a bad time to make massive financial decisions about closing and consolidating schools when the school district doesn't have a treasurer,” Stuart McIntyre, another parent in the district, said. "It says to me, you chose people knowingly and willingly who did not have the community's best interest at heart,” Cavendish said.
"As it relates to how we came up with this initial list of recommendations, it was all quantitative data,” Jim Negron, co-chair of the task force, said.
