Hearing set for Aug 31 on Thomas school closing
A Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court judge set August 31 for a hearing on a request for an injunction to reopen Berea’s C A Thomas Elementary in Middleburg Heights. Parents, forming the Save Our School Committee, sued in June after the district closed Thomas and reassigned students to Middlebrook and two other schools. They claim the board is financially able to reopen and that talks have stalled. The motion seeks reopening or at least busing Thomas students away from Middlebrook, noting the district buses only students living more than 2 1/2 miles away. The church is renting Thomas classrooms since its closure. The board’s attorney did not comment.
