Desegregation Movement Underway for Cleveland School District

The Cleveland School District says it’s ready to stop fighting a plan to merge historically black and white schools, but some say the willingness to act comes at a cost: closing historically black schools.
The move is a concession for the Cleveland School District, which has been fighting federal efforts to merge two middle schools and two high schools.
Some African American supporters of desegregation are unhappy about a plan that would close historically black East High School.
The district’s proposal has yet to be approved.
