CLEVELAND — On Friday, the Cleveland Metropolitan School District (CMSD) announced that it had reached an agreement with the Cleveland Teachers Union to bring back an additional 31 teachers who had previously been laid off.
The layoffs were part of the district's Building Brighter Futures consolidation plan, which takes effect this upcoming school year.
Errol Savage, president of the Cleveland Teachers Union, told News 5's Damon Maloney that the latest agreement builds on previous recalls, and he is pleased with what the district and union have been able to accomplish together.
Savage said he's still working to get his remaining members recalled—a group he said includes about 50 teachers and 30 to 40 paraprofessionals, including LPNs.
A few months back, the district announced well over 200 layoffs within the teacher and paraprofessional ranks.
