CCS Administrator Placed On Leave

Columbus City Schools

Columbus City Schools have placed chief academic officer Tracy Ocasio on paid administrative leave pending a review after officials learned from a Pennsylvania radio report that she had been working for the School District of Philadelphia. 

She was hired by CCS last year. Philadelphia Schools say Ocasio was hired last May but was no longer employed as of August 18. They were not aware of her employment in Columbus until recently. CCS policy prevents administrators from working for other organizations.

Jim has been with WCBE since 1996. Before that he worked as a reporter at another Columbus radio station, and for three newspapers in Southwest Florida.
