The proposal to close Gearity Professional Development School was a primary topic during a Monday meeting that included city and school officials from Cleveland Heights, University Heights and South Euclid.
University Heights Mayor Susan Infeld told the Cleveland Heights-University Heights School Board that if they decide to close Gearity Professional Development School, it will “kill our city.” “Frankly, it’s odd in an urban area to not have a public elementary school,” Infeld said at a meeting Monday that included about 20 officials from Cleveland Heights, University Heights and South Euclid city councils and the CH-UH School Board. “In an area that is urban with sidewalks, it is normal and kind to have an elementary school choice for your children.” The meeting was called to discuss the district’s third facilities master plan proposal, and the two most hotly debated topics — closing the only elementary school in University Heights, and …

Cleveland Heights Mayor Ed Kelley confirmed the developer will have space near Monticello and Mayfield, and School Board president Karen Jones said the CH-UH Board will consider putting Millikin up for public auction in its executive session tonight.
The Millikin controversy has come full circle. The recent debate over the former school was sparked by word that a call center was interested in the building, constructed in the mid-50's, at 1700 Crest Road. Cleveland Heights Mayor Ed Kelley confirmed that was no longer on the table at a meeting Monday night that included Cleveland Heights and University Heights city councils and the CH-UH School Board at the Cleveland Heights Community Center. About 400 people came to listen to the work session, the majority being Orthodox Jewish families from Mosdos Ohr Hatorah, which wants to buy Millikin. Kelley said the developer previously interested in opening a call center in the school building, owned by the CH-UH City School District, has a …

The Cleveland Heights and University Heights city councils and the Cleveland Heights-University Heights School Board will meet at 7:30 p.m. today in the Cleveland Heights Community Center.
