Warrensville Heights

There are a number of closings and cancelations following Sunday night’s winter storm that dumped more than a foot of snow in some parts of the region; COVID-19 hospitalizations are trending downward after reaching record highs early this month; Ohio GOP Senator Rob Portman and six other U.S. senators traveled to Ukraine over the weekend to meet with that country’s president and other officials; and other stories.

The Warrensville Heights City School District has a plan to get students caught up after a year of the COVID-19 pandemic, according to Superintendent Donald Jolly, who added that “there’s been significant loss.”

The Ohio legislature is expected to overhaul the state’s school funding formula by the end of its lame-duck session this month, the most recent attempt to address a system declared unconstitutional by the state Supreme Court four times. The state’s highest court found the existing system of relying on property taxes for school funding unfairly favored districts with higher property values. That system, in conjunction with Northeast Ohio’s history of redlining, disproportionately hurts majority-Black communities and school districts.
