CONTEXT AND MISSION

In 2012, Cleveland voters passed The Cleveland Plan, one of the most aggressive education reform initiatives in the nation. To date, its implementation District wide has allowed for tremendous growth including expanding quality preschool education, increased graduation rates, improved reading and math scores on the national report card, and growing trust amongst our families and community. In November 2016, voters renewed the levy, and our work will continue.  Motivated by The Plan, each other, and our scholars, CMSD envisions excellent schools in every neighborhood, where students will be challenged with a rigorous curriculum, while utilizing the highest quality professional educators, administrators and support staff available. We strive to create an environment that empowers and values staff as talented professionals. Staff members are poised to lay the foundation to ensure that all students in Cleveland have the chance to reach their full potential. The Cleveland is a city and a District on the rise.
