Board approves Ray Jr. partnership to boost enrollment and launch film/media CTE pathway
Summary
Trustees approved a partnership with Ray Jr. and Legit Paper Films to run enrollment events and develop a film/media pathway intended to draw 80–100 new students and offer Adobe certification and CTE credentials.
The East Cleveland City School District board approved a partnership with community partner Ray Jr. and Legit Paper Films designed to boost student enrollment and to help create a film and media career-technical-education pathway.
Board members described a multi-pronged strategy: a Saturday enrollment event with giveaways, community outreach and an ongoing media/film program that would offer Adobe certifications and portfolio opportunities. The board heard a goal of recruiting 20 students at the enrollment day and as many as 100 total through combined outreach; presenters said much of the program funding would come from fundraising and partner contributions rather than the general fund.
Trustees asked who would develop the curriculum; staff said district personnel and partners were collaborating to adapt content for middle and high school students and to align credentialing (Adobe certification) with career pathways. The board approved the resolution and requested staff work with partners to finalize curriculum, fundraising plans and space allocation for programming at the high school.
The motion passed by voice vote. Staff said they will report back on enrollment numbers and program costs.
