For those planning to vote in Cleveland Heights tomorrow, there’s one election worth checking out. Remember all those parents who filed a lawsuit to keep Coventry Elementary open? Well, they lost that battle, but now one of their most vocal members has decided to switch sides.
Nancy Peppler, who we featured in a story about racial issues underlying the Coventry uproar, is running for the Cleveland Heights-University Heights school board. She’s convinced that the district can do a better job of promoting itself and reversing the enrollment decline. And she’s trying mightily to remake her image — from critic to optimistic reformer http://coblepeppler.com/. – Lisa Rab

Hi Lisa – I kind of goofed but no surprise! I just left a comment on the other article about CH-UH. I worked with Nancy for a few years and I have to tell you, she really is a can-do type who is tenacious as all get out. I would not doubt her for an instant. Thanks for mentioning this race. (And good luck, Nancy!)
