Published on 07/16/2011 - 6:32am The Cleveland Plain Dealer reported earlier this week that the Cleveland Municipal School District Chief Operating Officer Patrick Zohn is open to selling their building headquarters. It probably didn't come as any
Cleveland is the only municipal-run school district in Ohio, which means the system is controlled by the mayor and not solely by a locally elected school board as is the case with Ohio's other 600-plus public districts. The Cleveland Municipal School
School districts must provide classrooms, teachers so a kid can get an education. It is law that kids must attend school. It is law that parents are responsible to get their kids to school. The Cleveland school district has met the law.

Cleveland school district clearing way for possible headquarters ...
Gus Chan, The Plain DealerThe Cleveland Municipal School District is considering leasing space for its 400 central-office workers and began soliciting proposals from landlords Wednesday. Renting would clear the way for appraising and auctioning off the headquarters on East Sixth Street.
CLEVELAND, Ohio — From the moment he started work in the Cleveland schools’ downtown administration building, Chief Operating Officer Patrick Zohn thought it was an ideal location — for a hotel.
He could soon find out whether developers and hotel operators agree.
The school district is considering leasing space for its 400 central-office workers and began soliciting proposals from landlords Wednesday. Renting would clear the way for appraising and auctioning off the headquarters on East Sixth Street.
How much the property would fetch is unknown, but Zohn senses opportunity. He and others think a hotel would fit naturally into the six-story stone structure, done in grand beaux-arts style and completed in 1931. Other possibilities include condos or offices.
Across St. Clair Avenue from the administration building, construction of the new medical mart and convention center is under way. PlayhouseSquare, pro sports venues, the site of planned casino and a reawakening Flats area are all within a half-mile radius.
“There’s a higher and better use for this location,” said Zohn, who was a consultant to cities on stadium and arena projects before joining the district in March 2010.
Zohn said he has received at least a call per week about the property since word of a possible sale got out earlier this year. He would not disclose names but said he has heard from developers with solid credentials.
Kimpton Hotels and Restaurants, which specializes in reuse of historic buildings as boutique or “lifestyle” hotels, already has cast an eye on the property.
The San Francisco company plans a hotel for the old Schofield Building at East 9th Street and Euclid Avenue, but often undertakes multiple projects in a city, said Tom Riley, vice president of acquisitions and development.
“The location would certainly be fantastic,” said Riley, who recently drove past the school headquarters to check it out. “I don’t know how it would lay out as a hotel.”
The idea of redeveloping the administration building has been kicked around since the 1980s, but gained momentum earlier this year when then-interim Chief Executive Officer Peter Raskind embraced the concept.
