“Te unprecedented support
                     of the people of Cleveland has
                     positioned us to secure our
                     designation as a Say Yes to
                     Education city. As a CMSD
                     graduate, I’m proud to see
                     the impact these scholarships
                     and family supports will have
                     on our students for the next
                     25 years.”

“I was ecstatic when I heard
                          about [Say Yes] tuition
                          scholarships. It made me
                          want to stay in Cleveland
                          so my daughter has a
                          chance to go to college afer
                          graduation. I keep telling
                          other parents, CMSD is
                          really putting kids frst, and
                          what they’re doing in our
                          schools is just amazing.”

“Finding the best school
                                           takes research, but
                                           CMSD has so many options,
                                           it was just a matter of
                                           locating the schools that
                                           met my expectations as
                                           a parent. Moving them
                                           to Clark school and

                                           decision I ever made.”

“I’ve lived in Cleveland all
                                           my life, and I went to a
                                           school board meeting just
                                           to give CEO Gordon fowers
                                           and tell him how much I
                                           appreciate the ways he’s
                                           removing socio-economic
                                           barriers that prevent kids
                                           from prospering. It’s like
                                           putting a blanket around
                                           all the babies in the city and
                                           encouraging our kids to
                                           graduate from CMSD and
