New Union President Elected Amidst School Consolidation

Errol Savage, a seasoned librarian, has been elected as the new president of the Cleveland Teachers Union, replacing Shari Obrenski. The district is implementing the Building Brighter Futures plan, which involves consolidating schools, closing eighteen buildings, and merging fifty-nine schools. This move aims to address a projected $150 million deficit by 2028, with expected annual savings of at least $30 million. The plan also includes new offerings like college credits and career pathways in high schools and enrichment classes in elementaries. However, concerns have been raised about potential negative impacts on neighborhoods and families.
