COLUMBUS, Ohio-The Columbus City school board voted unanimously to censure board member Brandon Simmons over a leaked document about school closure strategy and his withholding of public records. Simmons was also removed from his committee assignments as part of the censure.
The censure does not remove Simmons from the board or affect his voting rights. He has until the end of Thursday to comply with public records laws. The board met in a special session to discuss the leaked document and related issues, emphasizing their commitment to the district’s students and community despite the controversy.
