Cleveland High's future in math, science?
Seattle
Cleveland High may become a magnet school for students throughout Seattle who would like to study science, math, technology and engineering.
Seattle Public Schools leaders on Wednesday proposed enhancing Cleveland's existing classes in those subjects, and infusing the math-science-engineering focus into all the school's subjects.
Under the proposal, Cleveland would become an "option" school under a new assignment plan that is under development. That means students would apply to attend, rather than be assigned because they live nearby.
District leaders said they hope to find outside support to help pay for the project. They also hope it would boost interest in Cleveland, which now is far from full. They mentioned the possibility of opening a biotechnology program there, too, modeled after one at Ballard High.
The School Board will be voting on various pieces of the new assignment plan starting this month and into the fall.
