We love that the Taylor School playground/park is a place for students, families, and community members to come together. There has been an ongoing concern that after school hours the space is not always respected. We have observed vandalism to our equipment and fencing as well as a significant amount of trash on the grounds, including broken glass. It is our hope that by creating awareness, we can eliminate this problem so that our families can safely enjoy this community playground. Thank you in advance for your support!

Congratulations to our CBSD Retirees! They were recognized at last evening's board meeting for their 131 collective years of service to the Columbia community.
