Columbus City Schools wants to give businesses and organizations seeking to work/partner with the District the opportunity to showcase their programs and services directly to more than 1,500 District educators and administrators. The Programs and Partnerships Expo will bridge the gap between what buildings need and what the community offers.

"We are honored to extend this event to the community," said Executive Director of Community Engagement and Partnerships Lee Cole. "We are excited to provide business, non-profits, government, and social service agencies an opportunity to showcase their programs and services directly to our school teams.  In this one-on-one setting, district staff can converse and explore the multitude of programs available to serve students' needs."

Vendors must register by Friday, July 21, 2023 - a maximum of 40 single vendor spaces per day.  The registration fee is $100 per table per day. 

"We are looking to get businesses and organizations in front of the staff,"  Cole continued: "If we are more proactive in aligning building needs with community resources, we will be able to deliver the tools our students need more effectively.

The event is part of the District's annual summer professional development institute.
