CMSD explains that work sessions are held at the Arnold Pinkney East Professional Center during the first semester of the academic year and at Garrett Morgan High School during the second semester. Business meetings are held at various schools throughout the district. This means users should never assume every meeting is at 1111 Superior Ave. E.

Cleveland Board governance, voting members and responsibilities

The Board is made up of nine voting members appointed by the Mayor of Cleveland from a slate of nominees selected by a local nominating panel established under state law.
The Board functions as the governing body of the School District. Its responsibilities include hiring the School District Chief Executive Officer with the concurrence of the Mayor, setting School District policy, approving the School District budget, establishing goals and accountability standards, and promoting parent, family, and community involvement in the schools.
The Board Members page also explains that Ohio House Bill 269 provides that the presidents of Cuyahoga Community College and Cleveland State University serve as nonvoting ex officio members of the Board.
