Cleveland Schools eyes office expansion

CLEVELAND, Tenn. – Cleveland City Schools officials are looking to the lawn as a place to grow.

The lawn between the school system’s administrative building and Mouse Creek Road is being considered as a site for more office space and a meeting room large enough for the crowds that usually attend school board meetings.

Some school board members and others looked at the grassy area Wednesday during a committee meeting.

Schools Director Rick Denning said that with a growing list of mandates and higher enrollment, there’s no space left in existing buildings for new offices.

The school board’s site committee is looking at other properties as well, Chairman Murl Dirksen said.
