CCS SCHOOL CHANGES 

MORE CHANGES COULD BE COMING TO COLUMBUS CITY SCHOOLS AS THE DISTRICT CONTINUES TO MAKE BUDGET CUTBACKS.
THE COLUMBUS CITY SCHOOLS DISTRICT IS CONSIDERING THE CLOSURE OF MORE SCHOOL BUILDINGS IN LIGHT OF A BUDGET SHORTFALL IN THE 10S OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS. DISTRICT LEADERS ARE RECOMMENDING THE CLOSURE OF COMO AND FAIRWOOD ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS. THEY WOULD ALSO MOVE THE GIFTED PROGRAM FROM EVERETT AND THE ARTS PROGRAM FROM DUXBURY, AND THEN CLOSE THOSE BUILDINGS. THIS IS ON TOP OF THE FIVE BUILDINGS THE BOARD HAS ALREADY DECIDED TO CLOSE, BRINGING THE POSSIBLE TOTAL NUMBER OF BUILDINGS TO NINE.
