The Foundation continued its investments in key areas of the Cleveland Plan, whose goals are to ensure that every child in Cleveland attends a high-quality school — district or charter — and that every neighborhood has great schools from which families can choose. Grants included start-up support for five new schools — Bard High School Early College, Cleveland High School for Digital Arts, and PACT Academy and E3agle Academy at John F. Kennedy High School, all in the Cleveland Metropolitan School District, and Breakthrough’s Lakeshore Intergenerational School, a charter school. The Foundation also supported PRE4CLE in its efforts to provide high-quality preschool programs for Cleveland children. Total education grantmaking was $3,606,200.
