A lot is happening around education in Cleveland this month. There’s the ongoing search for a new CEO for Cleveland schools and conversations about youth mental health and school safety.
We’ve also recently covered an effort to help Cleveland college students transfer more easily from a community college to a four-year institution and a sweeping state bill that is worrying local faculty. We’ve heard from students on topics such as gun violence, voting, and the pandemic’s impact on college students.
Signal Cleveland wants to ensure that the topics we cover are relevant and useful, and to do that we need to hear from you. We want to know what you think of our education coverage so far and what you think we should be paying more attention to.
This month, we would love to amplify voices in Cleveland’s Central Neighborhood. Signal Cleveland’s Central Listening Team, led by our community reporter Najee Hall, is working with Signal education reporters Paul Rochford and Amy Morona to get input from students, parents, caregivers, and others living in or attending school in the Central neighborhood.
Signal Cleveland is listening to residents in the Central neighborhood and building a list of the stories and issues they want us to write about throughout 2023. We want to hear from people of every age, race, income, ability and political viewpoint.
Come to the Executive Grille, CMSD’s new student-run restaurant at East Technical High School, 2439 E. 55th St., between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. on Thursday, April 13, for some food and conversation on education in Cleveland.
