East Cleveland City Schools celebrate ‘We are EC Day’ marking end of state oversight

East Cleveland City Schools celebrate ‘We are EC Day’ marking end of state oversight


EAST CLEVELAND, Ohio — Classes across East Cleveland City Schools were briefly interrupted on Wednesday for a celebration.

After nearly seven years of oversight from the state’s Academic Distress Commission, the district has officially been released and is once again fully in control of its operations.

“This isn’t a Cinderella story. This is a story of a community that decided that excellence is now the standard,” said East Cleveland City Schools Superintendent and CEO Dr. Henry Pettiegrew.

He said turnarounds don’t come easily.

“We scratch. We claw. We grind (and) we hustle to get what we need,” Pettiegrew said. “And this community deserves this recognition today. Our teachers have gotten stronger. Students are performing better. It’s really amazing where we are today.”

The state placed him in the district in 2019 with a clear mission— to improve a failing district and boost academics so all students can succeed.

In September, around the time state report cards were released, he told me the district was using data to drive decisions, providing better support to teachers and communicating more with families.

“We’re knocking on doors. We’re having those real conversations, and if parents or students need particular things, supports or items, we’re right there to help,” Pettiegrew explained then.

He said teachers, students, and families rose to the occasion, applying focus and dedication.

Advertisement

Students earned a four-star rating in the progress category and an overall three-star rating on the most recent state report card. For the first time in more than a decade, the district is meeting state standards.

The district also met 16 of the 20 academic benchmarks set by the state, leading to its release from oversight. On Wednesday, a video played across the district in every classroom for what it called “We Are EC Day: Three Stars and Rising.”

In the video, Pettiegrew thanked everyone for the progress made. Congratulations also poured in from community members, business leaders, and celebrities, including Cleveland Browns player Shelby Harris.

Each student received a special school hoodie representing the mantra “Three Stars and Rising.” Staff members got a similar jersey.

“Throughout history, we commemorate when wonderful things happen and East Cleveland is no different,” Pettiegrew said.

He added that the district can’t and won’t let up on its path to continued success.

Pettiegrew said the district will be focusing hard on improving literacy outcomes and graduation rates, among other priorities. He said the goal is to match, if not exceed, the results from the last state report card on the next one.

Here’s a link to the full video the district released.

Cleveland Cavaliers get Max Strus injury update that fans won’t want to hear

Cleveland Cavaliers get Max Strus injury update that fans won’t want to hear


Cleveland Cavaliers fans are going to have to wait a bit longer until Max Strus makes his debut.

Strus suffered a Jones’ fracture in his foot during the offseason and has yet to suit up for the Cavaliers this season.

On Tuesday, the Cavs issued a statement that said Strus could be sidelined at least another month due to that injury to his left foot. According to the statement, Strus has made progress in his recovery, but additional time is required in order for the fracture to be fully healed.

“Strus will continue to advance in the rehabilitation and conditioning phase of his recovery along with ongoing medical treatment,” the statement from the Cavaliers said. “He is scheduled for a follow-up evaluation with Dr. David Porter, who performed the procedure, in conjunction with the Cavs’ medical and training staff, within the next four weeks.”

Following that evaluation within the next four weeks, further updates and next steps for Strus returning to the hardwood will be revealed.

Injury bug has plagued Cavs

The Cavs have dealt with a plethora of injuries this season, as Darius Garland was late to make his season debut due to the toe injury that he suffered in the postseason last year. Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley have both missed extended time as well.

Recently, the team has worked towards better health and has played better basketball. Unfortunately, the Cavs find themselves 20-17, just three games above .500 as the No. 8 seed in the Eastern Conference.

Advertisement

A four week evaluation timeline could put Strus’ season debut after the NBA trade deadline on February 5. Even though the Cavs have struggled, they might have a difficult time making significant upgrades to their roster due to constraints set forth by the second apron.

Advertisement

Certainly, head coach Kenny Atkinson and President of Basketball Operations Koby Altman will be keeping their fingers crossed that the Cavs can keep their head above water until Strus returns. Last season, Strus started with the Cavaliers. Upon his return, he’s expected to come off of the bench, which could be an adjustment. 

Strus played in 50 games for the Cavaliers last season, averaging just under 10 points per game. His three-point shooting ability will be a welcomed addition to the Cavs, who have struggled from deep all season long.

Additionally, outside of Donovan Mitchell, Strus was Cleveland’s most reliable player during the team’s last two postseasons. The Cavs have a lot of pressure mounting to get through the second round this season. 

Surely, the Cavs will hope that Strus will be healthy enough to have an impact when games matter most. In the meantime, the team needs to make sure they’re in a comfortable postseason position.
