The Columbus City Schools’ Board of Education has had three different board presidents in three years and is set to have a fourth once Board President Michael Cole leaves office at the end of the year.
Jennifer Adair currently serves as the board’s vice president, but she served as president for four years during the COVID-19 pandemic and the 2022-2023 teachers’ strike. As an election approaches where three new board members will be elected, Adair speaks on why the board has seen so much fluctuation in leadership.
