CMSD to consider up to $3.2M in budget cuts istock.com Yvonne Cox An independent audit requested by the Columbus Municipal School District, released Thursday, has identified opportunities for potential savings of $1.6 million to $3.2 million, mostly in four categories. The CMSD board requested the State Auditor’s Office conduct the performance audit in 2018 as the board developed its five-year plan. The auditor’s office partnered with educational firm Glimpse K12 to look at the district’s efficiency for the school years of 2018-19 and 2019-2020, according to a press release from the SA’s Office released last week. “My overall impression is that I’m glad we asked for the audit in 2018,” CMSD Board President Yvonne Cox said. “The results arrive at a good time for us as we prepare for our budgeting (for school year 2021-2022). The findings should give us ideas about some things we can do.”

The same day, city officials in Starkville held a town hall at McKee Park, site of a drive-by shooting Tuesday that led to the arrests of five people. Crime especially violent crime creates a sense of understandable urgency, but we believe there is a danger of knee-jerk responses fueled primarily by emotions made before  first making a real effort to understand the nature and scope of the problem. Now is the time for clear-eyed assessments
