May 10, 2017 -- The Cleveland Heights-University Heights City School District is pursuing the possibility of selling the Coventry School site.
The District notified current tenants of the building that they would be moving to month-to-month leases beginning July 1, 2017, as the District explores the possibility of selling the property, which closed as an elementary school in 2006.
The Coventry site is in need of more than $1 million of repairs in the near future, including a completely new roof.
“It’s obvious that the Coventry site and the building are in need of significant repairs in order for it to continue operating,” said CH-UH Superintendent Dr. Talisa Dixon. “We do not want to invest more money into a site that does not directly impact our students.
“With that said, we wanted to be proactive with our tenants, many of which are valued District partners, and give them advance notice of our intentions. At the end of the day, we will ensure that the site transitions into uses that are beneficial to the surrounding neighborhood and the Cleveland Heights community.”
