# CCS Board Meeting - Monday, October 12, 2026


**Body:** Cleveland City Schools
**Date:** October 11, 2026
**Jurisdiction:** SLED

**Tags:** Education, Grants & Funding


The Cleveland City Schools Board of Education meeting on October 12, 2026, focused on academic performance, student supports, curriculum, and district updates. The board approved the TISA plan, which will be incorporated into school improvement planning, and heard about test-score results and instructional strategies, including tutoring, targeted interventions, and a request for future reporting that connects program costs with student progress. Staff noted that a grant covers about half of tutoring costs and that some intervention funding is being shifted toward tutoring during the school year. Ross Elementary also described using a prior foundation grant to purchase a math-facts program and said it hoped to receive the grant again.

The board approved the child human trafficking prevention and awareness plan and the family life curriculum for the 2026–27 school year, with a parent opt-out provision. It also approved policy 1.108 after a proposed wording change and accepted the consent agenda, which included policies receiving date-only updates. No contract awards, RFPs, vendor selections, or new purchasing approvals were identified; funding references concerned existing or prospective grant-supported programs rather than a procurement action.
