Lay Facilities Committee to Hear Cost Evaluations of Restructure Scenarios

The Cleveland Heights-University Heights City School District's Lay Facilities Committee will hear cost estimates on two possible building restructure plans at tonight's meeting.

The committee will meet at Wiley Middle School tonight at 7 p.m. 

The committee, created by the CH-UH School Board at the recommendation of FutureHeights and Reaching Heights, is tasked with examining the facilities master plan and determining what aspects of the plan the community would support.

In January, the committee presented six scenarios to reconfigure the district by closing some schools and using only the property that the district already owns — and cut the number of open schools in the disctrict from 11 to seven or eight. Last month they asked for pricing on two versions of one of those scenarios.

The committee also asked for the cost of keeping all seven of the district's elementary schools open — not because it's a probable scenario, but to provide the committee context for the other two scenarios.
