Akron School Board

Akron Public Schools could put two school levies on the ballot as soon as spring 2024, officials said during a Board of Education meeting Monday night.

Former Akron Board of Education President N.J. Akbar — who presided over tumultuous times at the district — today said he’s stepping down from his board seat to focus his attention on a new job.

The Akron Board of Education is facing backlash after the announced resignation of Superintendent Christine Fowler-Mack after roughly a year and a half on the job.

The Akron Public Schools Board of Education voted Monday night to approve almost $3.7 million dollars to enhance security and boost mental health support in schools after hearing from an audience packed with parents and staff concerned about school safety and student misbehavior.

The Akron Education Association blasted Fowler-Mack's leadership following a student's stabbing, a fight the required a response by Akron Police and a bomb threat against a school.

Three school administrators from Ohio and one from Oklahoma have been selected to advance to in-person interviews in mid-April.

The Akron Board of Education is considering candidates for superintendent. The person they choose will take over when David James retires at the end of June.
