- No students in Columbus City Schools have attended in-person learning since March of 2020. Sports have been on hold since mid-November. Guess which one of those things district parents are agitating to have restarted? (Columbus Dispatch, 1/6/21) While the parents were agitating virtually, a group of students came in person to protest for the same. (Columbus Dispatch, 1/8/21)
- Not that any of the above folks asked, but Governor DeWine yesterday said that Covid vaccinations would begin February 1 for school personnel across the state…as long as school leaders sign a document stating their intent to be in buildings in-person—either hybrid or fully in-person—for learning by March 1.
