Why has East High School changed it name to East Community Learning Center? Has it been converted to a charter school? Has it been taken over by a multi-national corporation? Is it still even a high school?

The answers are NO, NO, and YES.

The system-wide rebuilding plan undertaken by the Akron Public Schools required that it raise 41% of the funding needed for construction. If this was achieved, the State of Ohio would supply the remaining 59%.

The School District and the City of Akron entered into an agreement whereby the Akron city income tax rate, with voter approval, was increased by .25% (one-fourth of one per cent). This additional revenue is the source of the matching funds needed by the Akron School District.

As part of the agreement between the School District and the City, each new school building is to be available for community use after school hours and will be known as a community learning center.

Part of East's conversion includes the addition of a middle school wing to house 7th and 8th graders who currently attend Goodyear Middle School. When all the new construction is complete, East will become a grade 7 through grade 12 building and will encompass both middle school and high school.
