The Cleveland Metropolitan School District will hold a lottery to choose panelists to interview finalists for the CEO position. Finalist interviews are expected to happen next month.

The firm conducting the search for the next CMSD CEO shared input from surveys and interviews with students, parents and teachers with the district's board of education Tuesday night.

Cleveland City Council Monday approved $3.7 million in American Rescue Plan Act funds to help Cleveland Metropolitan School District stand up three new brick and mortar health clinics in school buildings, along with funding a broader "Integrated Health Initiative" to help students' and families' physical and mental health.

CMSD CEO Eric Gordon says the school district is working to make several improvements to school safety after an 18-year-old student was shot and killed at the bus stop outside of John Adams College and Career Academy high school earlier this week.

In seeking its next CEO, the CMSD board is asking for public input to help find the right candidate to lead the district.

This past year's top stories included area coverage that made national news, global stories that had local impact, and of course, sports headlines. This is Ohio, after all.

Cleveland Metropolitan School District today announced a $20 million donation from billionaire philanthropist Mackenzie Scott, likely the largest donation to the district ever.

Cleveland Mayor Justin Bibb last week released the results of a “listening tour” on education in the city, calling it the beginning of an ambitious plan to solve long-time, entrenched issues facing the city's students, educators and families.

While Say Yes Cleveland – which started in 2019 - is mainly known as a “college promise” program, which pays for the tuition of CMSD students who attend four years of high school and live in the district, the role of family support specialists in local schools goes far beyond preparation for higher education.
