The Columbus City School District Board of Education is set to hold a public hearing on March 19, 2024, regarding the reemployment of retired Executive Director of Specialty Audits, Kevin Szenzowski. He is seeking to return to his position effective April 1, 2024, after retiring on January 31, 2024. This decision highlights the district's ongoing commitment to retaining experienced personnel.
In addition, the board announced the reemployment requests of two other retired educators: Tranesha Ball, a former science teacher, and Linda Kennedy, a gifted and talented teacher. Both are seeking to return to their roles effective January 24, 2024. The board conducted public hearings for each, but no community members spoke on their behalf, leading to the conclusion of those hearings without public input.
During the meeting, the board also approved a consent agenda, which included various items, with a notable mention of a resolution to award diplomas for the completion of the Ohio 22 Plus Adult High School Diploma program. Four individuals were recognized for their achievements in this program, underscoring the district's efforts to support adult education.
The meeting concluded with a motion to enter executive session to discuss the appointment, employment, or compensation of public employees, reflecting the board's ongoing administrative responsibilities. The session was held at Beechcroft High School, where the board expressed gratitude for the venue's hospitality.
