CPS has problems but we can’t give up

I have been and will continue to be supportive of Cincinnati Public Schools. I also acknowledge that there are some very serious long-term problems facing our public school system, which need to be addressed. In the short term I support the levy because I don’t believe that the children should be held hostage.

The Facilities Master Plan is a great project but it is only the first step. Now that the buildings are being built we have to address the operations issues effecting CPS. As a Member of Council I am extremely interested in how the levy vote plays out and I stand ready to partner with CPS in any way that will be helpful because our educational system is absolutely critical to our future success as a City.
