CMSD plays their bluff

The Cleveland Metropolitan School Board District distributed the Working Draft Revision of the "Transformation Plan." 

As expected--Tremont and GINN/Spellacy were taken off the table.

I will let the Plain Dealer do their job and report the details tomorrow, which I will link to here when available. 

Suffice to say, the CMSD administration NOW claims the demolitions/closings will produce a net savings of $20,900,000, which will supposedly help CMSD address a significant portion (~40%)  of the projected $53 million dollar deficit (revision says see attached detail--well, there is no detail attached). 

Of course, that made-up detail apparently was not so important when the District wheeled out their "Transformation Plan" in January.

Meanwhile, in the City that allows our so-called leaders to destroy every remnant of local history and culture--the Clinic demolished a landmark building on Euclid this week.  Sick. Appalling. Despicable...there are not enough adjectives to describe how I feel tonight. [1]
