Cleveland, Ohio – The Mid-American Conference (MAC) announced today it has secured a $1 million-dollar grant* to the Cleveland Metropolitan School District (CMSD) over a five-year period for TEACHing Cleveland, a program to focus on teacher recruitment, mentoring and retention.

The MAC secured funding for this program from the College Football Playoff (CFP) Foundation through its Extra Yard for Teachers platform with a $500,000 contribution toward TEACHing Cleveland. The MAC also secured $250,000 from The George Gund Foundation over the next five years and $150,000 from the Cleveland Foundation over the next three years. The MAC will reapply for additional funding from the Cleveland Foundation in three years.

----

Call me crazy, but wouldn't this have been more appropriately steered to the communities in which MAC schools exist?

I won't call you crazy, but I will point out that half the money is coming from Cleveland-based charities, and that $500,000 split 12 ways isn't very powerful. I'll also point out that the conference has its headquarters and multiple championships in Greater Cleveland. Seems silly to split hairs over grants for a district in dire need of assistance.
