Building Brighter Futures

The Cleveland Board of Education adopted the Building Brighter Futures (BBF) recommendations on December 9, 2025.

Building Brighter Futures is a strategic and data-driven plan shaped by months of community engagement, information analysis, and thoughtful deliberation. The goal of this plan is to strengthen enrollment and ensure scholars attend a newer school building that offers more educational opportunities, including algebra in the eighth grade, more sports and extracurricular activities, and college credits and college and career pathways in high school. BBF is ensuring academic excellence so every CMSD scholar can thrive.
