Cleveland gets OK to tear down 80-year-old high school building

From The Cleveland Plain Dealer: The Cleveland school district has won approval from the city's Landmarks Commission to tear down the existing John Marshall High School, built in 1932. A new John Marshall High School would be built at the same site in the fall of 2015. District officials will ask the school board to spend nearly $7 million to prepare two other schools to host John Marshall's students for the next three years.
