It’s no secret that Columbus City Schools have struggled for many years.  The attendance scrubbing scandal of several years ago, continued poor grades on the statewide evaluations, the threat of a state takeover and an awkward 14-month long process to find a new superintendent after Dan Good’s retirement have left voters, parents, the business community wondering what can be done.

March 2019, enter new Superintendent Talisa Dixon.  In the few short months since, what is her evaluation of the city’s schools?  What initiatives has she put in place and what are her plans to improve performance and community support?  What is her vision for the future of our schools?
