Right Plan. Right Now. Thanks for your support.

 

One of Cleveland’s biggest challenges is improving the quality of education for all of the city’s children. Fortunately, we now have new tools to make that happen. Stakeholders from around the city have rallied behind Mayor Jackson’s “Cleveland Plan” that calls for dramatic changes in how the Cleveland Metropolitan School District (CMSD) operates. This was followed by passage of bi-partisan legislation in Columbus needed to support the plan.

Thanks for your support that helped secure passage of Issue 107, the 15-mill Cleveland school levy.

This is the Right Plan. Right Now to improve Cleveland public schools. For 63 cents a day, the CMSD will be able to:

• Attract, retain and develop excellent teachers.
• Replace failing schools with new, high-quality schools.
• Increase graduation rates in every neighborhood.
• Make sure all graduates are ready for college, career and work.
• Update textbooks, computers and technologies.
• Maintain disciplined classrooms where students learn every day.
• Provide real-world education in local businesses.
• Make the school year longer for students who need it most.
• Help fund outstanding, accountable charter schools.
• Base teacher pay more on performance.
• Restore key programs, teachers and a full day of school.
