Cleveland Teachers Seek Immediate Cleveland School Shutdown
Cleveland teachers and non academic staff ask the Ohio Supreme Court to close the bankrupt city school system to qualify for unemployment benefits. The suit, filed by attorney Jerome Leiken for the Cleveland Teachers Union, comes as state leaders consider intervening to move basic education funds and potentially shut down the system until funds allow operations. The State Board of Education proposed a ballot tax levy within 30 days and backed possible shutdown with federal court concurrence to ensure state funds flow to Cleveland schools.

Ohio teachers and school boards warn that public schooling suffers from a money shortage driven by a stagnant property tax base. Officials say 1972 reform freezes local taxes, requiring state action to raise dollars with inflation. They forecast 50 to 75 district closings this year unless tax structure changes, unlikely before November elections.
