COLUMBUS—Ohio House Minority Leader Allison Russo (D-Upper Arlington) issued the following statement regarding the Columbus City School impasse with Columbus Education Association over negotiations for safer working conditions for students and teachers:

“No matter your politics, we all believe in better and safer learning conditions for our children, and fair and safe working conditions for our teachers.
