• Lakewood parents rally against proposal to repurpose Lincoln Elementary (cleveland19.com) — Lakewood parents and students are pushing back against a proposal to repurpose Lincoln Elementary into a centralized pre-K, warning it could lengthen walks and drives in this walking-focused district. District leaders say consolidation is needed due to finances and enrollment, while parents argue recent levy support and stable numbers should keep the school open. The school board plans to vote on the plan September 8.
