The Foundation saw its continued investment in the Portfolio of Excellent Schools strategy result in adoption of the groundbreaking Cleveland Plan for Transforming Schools with support from a broad range of political, civic and education stakeholders. The Plan’s goal is to grow and expand the number of excellent schools—both district and charter—so that families in every Cleveland neighborhood have great choices for their children. Grants included support for the Cleveland Metropolitan School District (CMSD) transition to school-based budgeting, office of new and innovative schools, new school development and principal recruitment. The Foundation provided support for three new Breakthrough charter schools and Stepstone Academy, all working in partnership with the CMSD. The Foundation also supported Teach for America’s first year in Cleveland. Total education grantmaking was $3,349,000.
