A state takeover of Columbus City Schools could be imminent.

That's due to a law that applies to any school district in Ohio that gets three consecutive failing grades on the state report card. Columbus could soon join Youngstown, Lorain and East Cleveland as districts under state control.

Today on All Sides, we discuss how the process has worked in other districts and what the prospects are for Columbus.
