Akron Public Schools are turning the page with Mary Outley stepping in as superintendent, bringing hope for real change after years of turmoil. Outley, an Akron native and longtime educator, is focusing on healing and rebuilding trust among staff, students, and families. With over 160 job vacancies and a last-minute deal to keep school resource officers in buildings, there’s a lot on her plate. Still, Outley’s energy and commitment to supporting both teachers and students are sparking optimism. What do you think Akron needs most right now—more support for teachers, safer schools, or something else? #Education #K12 #AkronSchools
