School Building Reuse
Your Voice Shapes What Comes Next
Next school year, Cleveland Metropolitan School District will close 18 school facilities. The City of Cleveland is gathering ideas and feedback to share with the Board of Education on how these buildings could be reimagined to support neighborhood needs and opportunities.
We want to hear from the community about priorities, concerns, and ideas for the future of these spaces.

Building Reuse: Community Survey
The City of Cleveland and CMSD are carefully evaluating future uses for several school sites across the city. These decisions will have a lasting impact — and community input is essential.
Use the survey to share ideas, ask questions, or raise concerns. Your feedback will help guide a thoughtful, community-centered vision for what comes next.
Thank you for lending your voice and helping shape the future of Cleveland’s neighborhoods.
