Cleveland Clinic gives $2.3 million to city schools Posted by Ellen Jan Kleinerman November 29, 2007 14:43PM Categories: Education The Cleveland Clinic today announced a $2.3 million donation to the Cleveland Metropolitan School District for elementary math and English textbooks. This is part of the $10 million in cash and services that the Clinic pledged in 2005 to give to area schools over a five-year period. Rosalind Strickland, senior director of the Clinic's Office of Civic Education Initiatives, said Cleveland public schools requested the money as it continues to align its courses to state standards. The books have been purchased and are being used by students now, she said. The Clinic's previous donations include: $2.6 million in 2006 to buy math and science textbooks for Cleveland public students in grades 6 through 10; $1 million in 2006 to Cleveland schools to connect buildings to the OneCommunity distance learning network; $38,000 to Entrepreneurship Preparatory School for computers at the charter school; and $2 million in 2006 to connect suburban schools to OneCommunity. more at: http://www.cleveland.com

That's in addition to $16.4 million in state tax credits already earmarked for the empty complex, which could become a retail and residential project within the next few years....

On behalf of all of the recipients, I would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to all you smokers.

This is just total violent crime numbers for 2005 (actual numbers), but it looks as if south of Lorain has the highest number of incidences reported for OC.

University Circle sure looks good in those numbers... Need to find a job first.

No. That is the rate per 100,000. Here are the actual numbers. Sorry for the confusion.

pd:

To be fair, here is data showing all city neighborhoods from 2005.

Nobody has really mentioned any of the west Side areas that have become "dicey." Parts of West Boulevard, Detroit Shoreway, Stockyards, Cudell and Jefferson are increasingly becoming as dangerous as anything previously mentioned. Maybe more so. How bad you ask? Well here is some data from NeoCanDo showing specific crimes per 100,000. The real interesting part is the total number of crimes in each neighborhood compared to the total number of crimes in the city. I need to move.
