Tagged: Columbus Education Commission

U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan is coming to Columbus later this week, to talk about recommendations to improve education.

The Columbus City School boards last night voted to suspend the search for a permanent replacement for superintendent Gene Harris, who is stepping down in June, and to put that task in the hands of a new committee to be headed by the Board president and Mayor Michael Coleman. The resolution passed – but not without controversy.  Alison Holm has more.

Columbus Mayor Michael Coleman says he will not support any permanent successor to Columbus Schools superintendent Gene Harris if the school board hires one by the summer.

Members of Mayor Michael Coleman's Education Commission appear divided on how the Columbus City Schools should be run.

Columbus Mayor Michael Coleman’s Education Commission later this month will explore whether an elected school board is the best way to run the Columbus City Schools.

When the Columbus Education Commission was formed last year, it was presented as a joint effort of the civic, business, and education sectors.

Mayor Michael Coleman yesterday introduced the members of a new commission that will focus on improving education in Columbus.
