Cleveland Metropolitan Schools considers closing several school buildings
CLEVELAND (WJW) – Faced with looming budget cuts, Cleveland Metropolitan Schools are considering closing several school buildings. Over a hundred parents and community members attended the Cleveland Metropolitan School District's first 'community input' meeting at Garrett Morgan High School on Thursday night. 'It's a difficult thing. I wouldn't want to be part of a school that is closing. At the same time, I want my school to be maintained,' said Christopher Blue, a parent. University of Akron swimmer breaks 200M butterfly world record According to CEO Dr. Warren Morgan, the district is forced to discuss cuts to spending and possibly closing buildings. 'Even though we're grateful for the levy that was passed, we know in Fiscal Year 2028 we have over $100 million deficit waiting for us,' said Morgan. Morgan said the district needs to save $150 million over the next three years. 'We are doing that by looking at the scale of our schools, the enrollment in them. Many of our schools have too many buildings and we have several buildings that are not worthy of kids or teachers to be in,' said Morgan. The changes are all part of CMSD's 'Building Brighter Futures' initiative. 'I take the input from the community, put a recommendation together and the board makes a decision,' said Morgan. Deshaun Watson says he'll make comeback 'way better than before' Morgan said the initiative is still in the planning stages and could not comment on how many buildings might close, when or where. 'Right now we are in the space looking at the data and gathering the input from the community,' said Morgan. CMSD will hold a total of seven meetings across schools in Cleveland and three online meetings in the month of April. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Cleveland Metropolitan Schools considering major changes to academic calendar
CLEVELAND (WJW) – Cleveland Metropolitan School District students and parents could see a significant shift in the school calendar next year. The district is considering major changes that could streamline schedules and lead to substantial cost savings. CMSD is currently evaluating two potential plans. One option would place nearly all schools on a traditional academic calendar, featuring a long summer break and standard school hours. Browns say city 'misguiding' Clevelanders on stadium: Court The other option would keep some schools on an extended year schedule, incorporating additional learning time. According to CMSD CEO Dr. Warren Morgan, the majority of schools already follow a traditional schedule. 'Right now, 71 of our schools are on the traditional calendar,' he said. 'We have 21 schools that would transition from one of the five other calendars to the traditional one.' While the proposed changes impact classroom schedules, financial concerns are a major factor in CMSD's decision-making process. The district currently spends approximately $4.5 million annually to maintain extended school times—an investment that, according to Morgan, has not significantly improved student test scores. 'It costs us around $4.5 million to run these extra times, and it's only about 30 extra minutes,' he said. Fight over DEI in schools rages at Ohio Statehouse The cost savings from these calendar adjustments would be redirected toward CMSD's 'Building Brighter Futures' plan, an initiative aimed at saving approximately $150 million over the next three years. The district's goal is to improve financial stability and make strategic investments in long-term educational success. While district leaders see this as a necessary step, not everyone is on board. 'Most of our stakeholders want to stay where we are. I know we will continue to hear that,' Morgan said. CMSD is actively gathering input from parents, teachers and students before making a final decision. The district will present a formal recommendation to the board of education on Tuesday, with a final vote expected by the end of April. If approved, any changes would take effect at the start of the next school year. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
