June 27, 2011
Breakthrough charter organization will open 3 new schools and move an existing school

From The Cleveland Plain Dealer: The Breakthrough charter school organization is buying four school buildings closed by the Cleveland school district. Breakthrough will pay more than $1.5 million for the buildings: new schools will go into three of the buildings and an existing school will move to the fourth. The district already sponsors Breakthrough's existing schools -- Citizens Academy, Entrepeneurship Preparatory School, Village Prep and Intergenerational School -- and has agreed to support Breakthrough's expansion. The district put 14 closed schools on the market earlier this year and by law must offer the buildings to any charter school that would meet the appraised prices.
