Morgan will replace Eric Gordon at the end of the school year
Eric Gordon, the soon-to-be former CEO of the Cleveland Metropolitan School District, hands off the baton to his replacement, Warren Morgan, on Tuesday.
In his brief speech, which clocked in at a breezy six minutes, Morgan thanked his four family members in attendance, along with soon-to-be CMSD colleagues, some of whom Morgan worked with when Gordon hired him in 2014. Morgan's debut as CEO trails months of careful planning and surveying by the CMSD board, with focus groups and engagement sessions, with student feedback and public input, all aimed to do what may be unthinkable to many: find a leader as well-admired as Eric Gordon.
Gordon found insight in Morgan's shining track record as Indianapolis admin, a role Morgan leveraged to"make significant gains" in the city's grade averages, as Gordon reminded the audience of Tuesday. Also, of course, that CMSD itself has the"12th highest gain growth scores in Ohio." "He was very approachable," Elianys Soto, a student at John Marshall School of Information Technology, said from the podium, recalling her help in the selection process."He took the time to shake each and every student's hands. He didn'tWhich seems to be a key value for Morgan himself.
