CoolCleveland caught up with Eric Gordon, the CEO of the Cleveland Metropolitan School District, at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport, just as he arrived from a private meeting with President Barack Obama, Secretary of Education Arne Duncan and eight other school superintendents and board members. View the video here.
They discussed what’s working in education in our urban cities, upcoming changes to the No Child Left Behind Act, and progress with The Cleveland Plan.
The President announced that High School graduation rates in the U.S. are the highest on record. And that increase is reflected in Cleveland, where graduation rates have increased 12.1% over the past 3 years, and are also at a record high.
