Columbus City Schools

Equity Now Coalition Chair Jerry Saunders said the group is now encouraging people to vote for the Columbus City Schools' $100 million levy on the November ballot after initially sending a letter calling for it to be delayed for a year.

Central Ohio school districts were graded on a 1-to-5 star system based on achievement, progress, gap closing, graduation and early literacy.

Amid sweltering heat waves, classes have resumed in many districts around the country that have outdated heating and cooling systems — or no air conditioning at all.

Columbus City Schools and South-Western City School District said they have enough bus drivers to start the school year.
