The Cleveland Metropolitan School District (CMSD) is undertaking significant budget cuts. These measures include school consolidations, building closures, and hundreds of layoffs. Approximately 146 teachers and 132 paraprofessionals were among those affected. The district also eliminated administrative and other support positions. These financial challenges are driven by declining enrollment and reduced state funding.
