The Greater Cleveland Congregations, which kicked off its efforts this week, is comprised of groups across the religious spectrum. It will act as a political organizer and watchdog and promote improved social services. Education, jobs and health care will be among the organization's major concerns.

New Cleveland School Boss
After launching a national search for a new CEO, the Cleveland school board this week named a new chief exec whose office was right down the hall. Chief academic officer Eric Gordon will take over July first for interim CEO Peter Raskind who's worked to right the financial ship. Gordon is the chief architect of the district's academic reforms.
Interchange of Heart
A group of Avon landowners got the welcome news this week that they won't be the target of a special assessment for a new I-90 interchange. The Jacobs Group and the city will share the cost of the interchange, but for a time city leaders thought they'd be short a few million dollars and for that they'd planned to look to landowners near the freeway. That changed this week when the mayor announced the funding plan is sufficient as is.
Huron Hospital to Close
Cleveland Clinic will shutter Huron Hospital in East Cleveland, citing a long decline in the number of patients and years of operating deficits. The Clinic plans to open a community health center in East Cleveland this fall. Public officials complain the hospital's closing will result in a decline in the quality of care.
