Cleveland Metropolitan School District agrees to bring back 31 laid off teachers

On Friday, the Cleveland Metropolitan School District (CMSD) agreed to bring back 31 teachers who were previously laid off.

Teacher's Union President Errol Savage told News 5's Damon Maloney.

The layoffs were part of a consolidation plan the CMSD had for its schools, a plan set to go into effect this upcoming school year.

Savage said the latest move builds on previous "recalls" and he is happy with the work the district and union have been able to accomplish.
