CMSD to move sixth graders to Hunt in 2022
Cherie Labat
For almost a year, Columbus Municipal School District has worked on its plans for the redevelopment of Hunt School with the understanding it would become the home of the district’s sixth-grade operations.
During Monday’s regular meeting, the CMSD Board of Trustees took its first official step in that transition, approving the move of sixth-grade students, faculty, support staff and equipment to the school for the beginning of the 2022-23 school year.
“This is just the first step in a pretty complicated process,” Superintendent Cherie Labat told the board. “I would say today, with this board action, we’re probably at about 3 percent of doing the things that need to be done. There are federal funds associated with the school, so it is an extensive process.”
