School Choice Fairs Completely Virtual This Year
January 11, 2021 – For the first time ever, Columbus City Schools (CCS) will hold its School Choice Fairs entirely virtually in January and February. Due to the global health pandemic, state, and local health protocols, in-person school fairs are not possible this year, which is why they will be virtual.
Informational videos about each school will be hosted on the CCS website for families to view prior to the day of the Fair (stay tuned for further details). On the day of the School Choice Fair, families can log in and talk directly with the principal and school staff to learn more about what each CCS school and program has to offer students.
