Violence in Columbus City Schools has reached a level that’s leaving teachers and parents deeply worried. With over 850 police calls to local middle and high schools in less than three years, daily life for students and staff is being disrupted by fights, threats, and property damage. Some teachers say they avoid playground duty because of frequent brawls, and parents report their kids are suffering from anxiety and stress. While the district claims de-escalation tactics are helping, many on the ground feel current solutions aren’t enough. How should our community respond to this crisis? #Education #K12 #ColumbusSchools
