Officials reported last week that the number of children leaving the Columbus school district for public charter schools is projected to surpass the 10,000 mark this school year. The Ohio Department of Education projects that 10,273 students in the district's enrollment area will go to public charter schools, and an additional 1,840 will attend private schools with vouchers, Columbus schools interim Treasurer Michael McCammon told the district's Audit and Accountability Committee. Those numbers total about 20 percent of the total student population.
