(Letter from University Heights Mayor Susan Infield)

Hello,

As you are likely aware, Wiley Middle School closed permanently earlier this month and the students have been reassigned to Monticello or Roxboro Middle Schools.

The School District has submitted plans to the City for conversion of the Wiley site to a temporary location for Cleveland Heights High School while the high school is being renovated and rebuilt in Cleveland Heights.

The School District proposes to construct the necessary buildings, etc. at the Wiley site during the upcoming (fall 2014) school year. Following that, for the school years beginning fall 2015 and fall 2016, the high school will relocate to the Wiley site. The District plans to return the students to the new Cleveland Heights High School in fall 2017.

The Right Type of Help

By Rabbi Yirmiyohu Kaganoff

Household help

Shirley* asks me: “We hired a very nice Polish lady to help around the house, keep an eye on the kids and do light housekeeping. Can we have her cook a bit for the kids while I am away at work?”
