AKRON, Ohio-The Akron Board of Education reinstated public comment provisions into their redistricting policy, reversing a previous decision to speed up student assignment decisions. This change followed a pledge to restore public input, addressing concerns raised earlier in the year. The revised policy now mandates a 30-day notice to parents and board members before any school assignment changes are proposed, with opportunities for public feedback at two consecutive board meetings. The board unanimously approved the policy, also making annual redistricting reviews mandatory instead of every four years.
