“CEA is currently in negotiations for a new agreement and in support of those efforts, CEA will be picketing Columbus City Council on Monday, July 29th at 4 PM.

CEA is picketing Columbus City Council because by law both the City Council and the School Board must negotiate and approve the terms of large tax abatements, the decisions made by the Columbus City Council directly impacts investment in the schools Columbus Students Deserve, and by the District’s own numbers, Columbus City schools have lost $148 million to abatements alone between 2000 and 2016!”
