Board approves three facilities projects: Candies Creek storm‑drain fill, CMS press box, CHS special‑education renovation
Summary
The board approved a contractor request to fill a storm drain at Candies Creek Cherokee Elementary (contingent on city plans), a Cleveland Middle School press box funded from local school funds, and up to $100,000 for a Cleveland High School special‑education room and shower renovation.
Cleveland — Following a facilities committee recommendation, the Cleveland City Schools Board approved three projects brought to the full board on Monday: a storm‑drain fill at Candies Creek Cherokee Elementary (contingent on approved city stormwater plans), construction of a press box at Cleveland Middle School funded by local school funds, and up to $100,000 to renovate a room and shower area at Cleveland High School to meet special‑education needs.
Facilities committee chair Andy Lay presented the three items and noted each came with the committee's recommendation. The storm‑drain approval was contingent upon the work being completed in accordance with City of Cleveland stormwater plans. The press box project will be paid from local Cleveland Middle School funds, and the special‑education renovation at Cleveland High School is capped at $100,000 to create an accessible room and shower area to serve students with additional needs.
All three motions were seconded and carried on roll call votes.
What happens next: Project teams will coordinate with city permitting where required and proceed with procurement and construction steps approved by the board.
