CLEVELAND, Tenn. – For the first time, enrollment in Cleveland City Schools has passed 5,000 students.
“I didn’t think I would see that during my watch,” said Schools Director Rick Denning, who plans to retire next summer.
As of Sept. 8, enrollment was up by 141 students from 2009, to 5,010.
The Bradley County school system last year hit 10,111 at the end of the first month. The numbers for the new school year were being compiled Friday.
