Cleveland schools

The lawsuit against Columbus schools for paying parents instead of transporting their kids is driven by a practice also long common to some big Northeast Ohio districts.

The change comes after the district and city said they wanted to pause and listen to residents who had protested the project and at one point filed suit to block it.

School districts across the region saw marked improvement this school year, including Cleveland, Canton and Akron.

In his first State of the Schools address, Cleveland Metropolitan School District CEO Warren Morgan said the school district's budget, engagement with the community and students, safety measures and school lunches all need improvement.

Residents argue Cudell Commons Park was always meant to be preserved as a park and green space and have filed a motion for a temporary restraining order against Cleveland schools to halt construction of new school facilities there.

Many older school buildings in Northeast Ohio lack air conditioning, making it hard for learning to continue when the heat index is high.

Some residents of Cleveland’s Cudell neighborhood are protesting the loss of green space at the site of a new school at Cudell Commons Park.

Cleveland Metropolitan School District this week announced a new slate of opportunities for CMSD parents, students and community members to meet with new CEO Warren Morgan which will be held at locations across the city.

Cleveland's mayor's office announced Friday afternoon that Cleveland Metropolitan School District board of education member Anne Bingham will be stepping down from her position.

School districts in Ohio aren’t in as big of a crunch to find teachers as they have been in recent years, although many districts are still struggling to find specific kinds of teachers: substitutes, for example, and those that focus on special subjects like math or gym.
