Classes start next week for Cincinnati Public Schools students, and the district has made some important staffing and policy changes for the new school year.

Among them:

  • Fewer schools will have full-time nurses because of a loss of pandemic-era federal funds.
  • All 7th and 8th graders will take Metro buses to school instead of yellow buses.
  • And there’s a new cellphone policy.

On Cincinnati Edition, we’ll spend the hour discussing those changes and more with the school board president and a top administrator – and taking your questions.

Guests:

  • Eve Bolton, president, Cincinnati Public Schools Board of Education
  • Shauna Murphy, interim superintendent, Cincinnati Public Schools
  • Julie Sellers, president, Cincinnati Federation of Teachers
