“The approval of the master facilities plan...is a culmination of years of work and countless hours of research and thoughtful discussion. I am excited about the plan proposed and approved and am confident that the future of education in Shaker Heights is brighter than ever. I want to thank the members of the Board for their diligence and hard work, and I want to thank the Shaker community for its commitment and participation in this process.”

The future of Shaker Schools includes an expansion of the district’s current Pre-K program with the goal of ensuring that all Shaker Heights students have access to a high quality preschool education.
Includes renovating Ludlow Elementary School to accommodate an expanded Pre-K program; renovating and expanding Woodbury as a middle years building (Grades 6-8); renovating Boulevard, Lomond, Mercer and Onaway Elementary Schools and converting them to include Grade 5; building an addition to Fernway to accommodate Grade 5.
