Public Meetings Report for the week of April 15, 2024
🪻🌳🌦️Spring has officially sprung here in Cleveland. While many of us were looking for extra-strength Claritin, Documenters were busy making local government meetings clearer. Last week, they learned about Cleveland Metropolitan School District plans for three new school-based health clinics and for streamlining English language arts curricula across schools. Plus, Second New Hope Baptist Church is moving toward landmark designation. And the Landmarks Commission hears a plan to require some city developers to encourage their residents and employees to use public transportation. Get the details in around five minutes in this week’s episode.🎧📻👇🏿
