I would again like to take a moment to thank the citizens for supporting the School Bond Referendum for the Columbus Municipal School District that passed by an overwhelming 85%. I would like to especially thank the local church organizations, volunteers, employees, business partners, Club CMSD, local government, Rotary, Exchange Club, WCBI and The Dispatch. I am humbled and honored to serve the Columbus school community.
In January, when I announced the plans for a school bond referendum, a well-thought-out plan was implemented that would yield positive election results. That plan entailed canvassing door to door and addressing the concerns to show true transparency. Our door-to-door ground campaign started in February 2024 resulting in us knocking on over 4,000 doors leading up to the election. I would like to extend a warm thanks to the voters of Columbus.
I would be remiss if I did not express gratitude and thanks to the Columbus Municipal School District Board of Trustees. Their well-coordinated and energized attitude made a difference. Thank you.
I am humbled by your overwhelming support and as your Superintendent, I will continue to listen to your concerns and always put the best interests of our students first. All my efforts will continue to be built on the foundations of respect, integrity, and true transparency.
Thank you all for your efforts. I look forward to continuing my service to the district and community for many years to come.
Dr. Stanley K. Ellis
Superintendent Columbus Municipal School District
