Say Yes to Education Cleveland will bring support services to 23 more CMSD schools and three partner charter schools in the 2021-22 school year.

A family support specialist based at each school will connect families with services such as mental health and legal assistance. Services are based on surveys of the families. The services are designed to help families overcome barriers to success and keep students on track to graduation and Say Yes scholarships. 

This is the third group of schools to receive the supports since Cleveland became the nation’s fourth Say Yes community in 2019. The new group includes 18 elementary schools and three high schools.

Say Yes specialists now work in two-thirds of CMSD and eligible charter schools. The remaining schools will receive the supports in the 2022-23 school year. Services continued during the last year, even after the pandemic forced schools into remote learning.

Say Yes scholarships pay up to the full value of tuition, minus federal and state aid, to all public colleges, universities and Pell-eligible training programs in Ohio and more than 100 private colleges and universities across the country.

To be eligible for the scholarships, students must be continuously enrolled in a CMSD or partner charter high school and live in the District or city of Cleveland from ninth grade to graduation. Students currently enrolled at Horizon Science Academy, a charter high school in the new group, can qualify.
