The new city elementary school under construction was once again the main focus during the Cleveland Board of Education’s Site Committee meeting Wednesday.
Brian Templeton of Upland Design Group presented some of the design elements which were being considered for what has been named Candy’s Creek Cherokee Elementary School.
With the city school board having previously voted on a color scheme, he showed samples of flooring, bathroom countertops, bleacher seats and more to show how this color scheme would be utilized.
These colors were a dark red and golden yellow, with a light blue to be used as accents. With the school being named for a historic Cherokee settlement, the design includes Cherokee-inspired design elements such as a flooring placement pattern meant to resemble a basket weave.

Tennessee Attorney General Herbert H. Slatery III has informed 14 district attorneys general that the state constitution does not give them the authority to challenge a state statute he says forbids them from retaining outside counsel without approval from himself or the governor.
Slatery’s letter was in response to litigation initiated by the attorneys general concerning the manufacturing and distribution of opioids.
In a response to Slatery, 14 district attorneys general responded in a letter on Tuesday.
The DAs said they found it “troubling” Slatery is taking a position adverse to their goals in this litigation.
Tenth District Attorney General Steve Crump was one of those signing the letter.
Crump said the DAs have “repeatedly sought to work with the Attorney General and asked him to be a partner in this fight.”

The National Weather Service says there’s evidence that multiple tornadoes struck Alabama earlier this week, and it’s still counting.
The weather service says survey teams have found tracks showing nine twisters touched down in the northern part of the state on Monday.
The strongest storm was an EF-3 tornado that hit Jacksonville with peak winds around 140 mph. An analysis shows the twister traveled into western Georgia after pummeling areas that include the campus of Jacksonville State University.
The weather service says three of the nine twisters were in central Alabama east of Birmingham. The other six were in the Tennessee Valley of north Alabama, where an EF-2 tornado hit the town of Ardmore along the Tennessee line.
The tally could increase since teams are still assessing damage.
