Our Future, Our CCS Workshop Series
Dr. Angela Chapman and the Columbus Board of Education invite you to join us for interactive public town hall meetings to discuss how to prioritize students in the classrooms while the District cuts its future budget.
This is more than a conversation; it’s a call to action. Make your voice heard to help Columbus City Schools build the best possible future for our students.

CCS is a No Phone Zone District
Research shows that when students disconnect from their cell phones during the school day, they become more attentive, perform better academically, and develop stronger connections with their teachers and peers. Our goal is not to penalize, but to create learning environments where every student is fully engaged and distraction-free.
