Here are some bleak photos taken today of William Rainey Harper [1] School in the Old Brooklyn neighborhood near Fulton and Biddulph Rds.
This is the reality 18 neighborhoods, 16 east side, 2 west side--will live with soon, if the Cleveland Metropolitan School District board approves the "Transformation" Plan. [2]
If you live in one of these neighborhoods, and you have paid taxes to support services in your neighborhood--how does this make you feel??
The District also fails to note that several schools currently used as swing schools will also be closed after serving their current purpose. So, the actual number of school closings is much higher than 18.
