The college scholarship program has placed a social worker in every Cleveland school, but says budget issues may challenge that model.

Cleveland Metropolitan School District officials say the $2.5 million increase will bump up salaries but also increase the pay scale for administrators more broadly, even as the district says it needs to cut back over the next three years.

The Cleveland Board of Education approved an agreement with the state calling for sharing costs to demolish eight schools and build one new high school.

The move will impact roughly a fourth of the district's school buildings, resulting in cuts to the amount of class time they receive and additional days they have, compared to other schools.

Cleveland Metropolitan School District says it will pursue school consolidation as it deals with dueling pressures of needing to cut its budget while improving academic quality. What will that look like?

The district administration says it will seek to the close the building, which is aged and has problems with its roof and foundation, by the end of the school year.

Ohio House Republicans are offering small increases to public school districts as many face significant budget challenges and the state continues to focus significant resources on private school vouchers.

The school reportedly has issues with its roof. The district says it will seek to close the building at the end of the year in a March 21 letter to families.

Opponents say CMSD is rushing into a one-size-fits-all decision that will harm some of the district's best schools. The district says the move will save a significant amount of money in the face of a looming deficit.

The district faces big financial challenge including a deficit of $96 million by the end of the 2027-2028 school year along with potential state and federal funding cuts.
