Resources available for determining educational options for area students

(Plain Press, September 2020)       There are a number of resources for parents and students interested in finding out how local schools are approaching this upcoming school year. While the Cleveland Metropolitan School District has announced its first quarter (9 weeks) will happen remotely with online education, information on other charter and private schools and their plans have received less publicity. Area schools offer a mix of online and in person educational options.

The Cleveland Transformation Alliance website lists school reopening plans for the Cleveland Metropolitan School District, Cleveland Charter Schools and a number of area non-religious private schools. The Cleveland Transformation Alliance website is: mycleschool.org. At its August 17^thBoard meeting, The Cleveland Transformation Alliance staff said they were doing their best to keep the information up to date.
