CMSD wants you to be aware of an individual soliciting money
SUMMARY: The Columbus Municipal School District has alerted the public about an individual falsely posing as a parent of an athlete to solicit money for a nonexistent fundraiser.

Residents are advised to verify the legitimacy of any such requests by contacting the school district directly before making any donations. This cautionary message aims to prevent potential fraud and ensure community members do not fall victim to scams.
