Long LONG ago in the naive 1960's a couple of Ursuline nuns and a priest set up an alternative school at St Malchi parish, which in 1976 merged with St Wendelin where the school was located. It was not a traditional Catholic school but it had actual academic standards like all public schools USED TO HAVE in Cleveland back in the day. It operated under the parameters of a Catholic education but provided flexibility for students unable to conform to certain restrictive aspects of public school. In 2003 the Gallagher family, owners of a closed down factory at 49th and Lorain donated a parcel of land to build a new Urban Community School. In 2005 the new elementary school opened at 4809 Lorain. From the beginning until the present day the school provided an education for students in certain west side neighborhoods from Kindergarten through 8th grade. But it LONG AGO ceased to have any connection to the Catholic Church. Or any measurable standards. The Catholic Church OFFICIALLY cut them loose in 2019 when they opened an onsite Metro Health clinic in a building they own. Metro Health provides abortion "counseling" and up until Mike DeWine reluctantly signed a bill, having been overruled by the Ohio legislature banning transgender mutilation of children, gender transition "counseling". There was a LOT OF MONEY at stake for hospitals for child mutilation and not at all coincidentally Mike DeRino's major donors were "health" care organizations. But THAT is a topic for another time.

Urban Community SKOOL very grandly boasts NOT a principal but a president. His name is Tom Gill and Urban Community SKOOL has gone from receiving the National Blue Ribbon schools award in 1988 to refusing to release the school grades to the State of Ohio Department of Education. Hiding behind their "private school status" BUT ACCEPTING PUBLIC SCHOOL VOUCHERS. They have approximately 666 students depending on who is counting but dozens and dozens of support staff with mysterious titles like food coordination officer and family participation liaison and national presentation co-ordinator. Not to mention dozens of teachers and assistants 45 students "graduated" from 8th grade and have gone on to 56 different high schools. Hmmmmmmmmm. And even though 85% of the students get voucher WHICH THE SKOOL REQUIRES and must live in impoverished nayboorhoods on the west side of Cleveland, a lucky few have moved on to potential greatness at Hathaway Brown and the Laurel School. The rest shoveled are into the danger zones at Lincoln West and Rhodes. 

El Presidente Gill ALSO has a staff of bus drivers and maintenance workers who clandestinely double as "property acquisition officers" and are currently shaking down minority home owners on W 50 and W 52. They are being threatened that the city will condemn their houses if they don't sell to Urban Skool. 

Urban SKOOLS has zero intention of expanding classrooms space or opening a high school. And yet they own an EVER EXPANDING vast real estate empire valued at $48 million. They collect $700,000 in tuition BUT $9 MILLION IN FEDERAL GOVERNMENT GRANTS. Probably most of it from the soon to be eliminated Department of Education.

NON education facilities on the Skool campus include a squash court, a lacrosse field, a Refuge response and the most egregious of ALL the discriminatory brainwashing "non" profit Facing History and Hating Whites.

What are the plans for all this new real estate.?? A 3 story BLM Ohio Headquarters? An Antifa Workshop CentRE? Asking for a friend.
