Akron Public Schools to Host Ellet Cluster Town Hall | Engaging Families from Ellet, Hyre, Betty Jane, Hatton, Ritzman, and Windemere CLCs

Akron Public Schools (APS) invites all families within the Ellet Cluster to a dedicated Town Hall event on Thursday, February 19, 2026, from 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. This community forum, held in the Ellet CLC Auditorium, is specifically designed for parents, guardians, and students from Ellet CLC, Hyre CLC, Betty Jane CLC, Hatton CLC, Ritzman CLC, and Windemere CLC.

The event offers a direct opportunity to meet and chat with APS Board Member Phil Montgomery and Superintendent Mary Outley. As the district continues its commitment to transparency and community-led growth, this Town Hall serves as a vital space for Ellet Cluster families to share their perspectives, ask questions, and hear firsthand about the future of their schools.

"We want to hear from every corner of the Ellet Cluster," said Stacey Hodoh, Director of Strategic Communications. "Whether your child is just starting at Windermere or preparing to graduate from Ellet CLC, your voice is essential to our success. We strive to be the most fiscally efficient urban district in Ohio, and that commitment requires us to focus more deeply on the specific needs of our neighborhood clusters."
