Hello Tiger Families!

We had a productive and positive Board of Education meeting last night, and I wanted to share the key takeaways with you. Thanks for staying connected and engaged—your involvement makes a real difference.

📌 Consent Agenda Approved
The Board moved through the consent agenda, which covers routine items that keep our schools running smoothly. Although they may seem small, these approvals ensure our programs, finances, and building use stay up to date.
Here’s what was included this month:

Approval of February 2, 2026 Board Meeting Minutes
Treasurer’s Report & Financial Reports
MS TSA Overnight Trip – Students will head to a drone competition (exciting learning opportunity!)
MOUs approved with:
Pawnee County Health Department
Cleveland Area Hospital

Facility use request from Hope Church for the MS classroom & cafeteria
Transportation request for Western Heights to Camp Lela (March 13–14)
Additional fundraiser for HS Cheer – T‑shirt & try‑out shirt sale
Additional expenditure for Primary Literacy Night supplies & Family Night meals

These items help support everything from academics to community partnerships to safe and fun student events.

👥 2026–27 Transfer Capacity
The Board reviewed and approved our officially published transfer capacity. This helps us balance class sizes while still welcoming new families into Cleveland Schools. We’re thankful so many families continue choosing CPS!

📅 Final 2027 School Calendar Approved

After discussion, the Board voted to adopt the final 2027 school year calendar. Which will follow a flow of 4 day weeks from Thanksgiving Break onward.

💵 Encumbrances & Funding Approvals
$18,000 – Shot clock adjustments (Building Fund)
$20,000 for new event center floor coverings

$16,000 for additional security cameras in the renovated indoor facility

These expenses support safe facilities, efficient operations, and compliance with evolving athletic regulations.

📣 District Updates Shared With the Board
🏗️ Tiger Vision Construction
Progress continues on the indoor facility! While the inside looks similar from week to week, there’s a lot happening behind the scenes. Wet weather will slow down exterior work, but we’re still moving forward.
Construction documents are in preparation for several exciting upcoming projects:

Middle School locker room updates
IS cafeteria improvements
EC wrestling space
High School classroom additions

📚 Course Offerings for 2026 CMS & 2027 CHS
We previewed next year’s middle school and high school course offerings. Honestly, this is something to celebrate.
No district our size in the region offers the breadth, quality, and creativity of programs that Cleveland does. From career exploration to advanced academics and hands‑on electives, our students have incredible opportunities right here at home.

🔒 Executive Session
The Board entered executive session as outlined in the meeting agenda.
