  • Ep 8 - An Empty Nester Supports Issue 13
    2023/10/26
    Dr. Donna McIntyre Whyte is a long time resident of Shaker Heights. Dr. Whyte moved to Shaker in 1982, reared her family here, earned her Ph.D. at Case Western Reserve University, and now teaches at Cleveland State University. Dr. Whyte explains why she chose the elementary school (Moreland) for her children and how she became involved in the school system, beginning with service on the PTO and eventually serving on the Board of Education.

    While Dr. Whyte's story arc is familiar to some, it gives her a unique perspective on the role public schools play in the character and legacy of Shaker Heights. Because she served on the Board of Education in the 1990s, she also has experience with school levies. She has experience in weighing the pros and cons of proposing a levy to taxpayers and the degree to which any Board deliberates that action.

    Though her children have graduated from Shaker schools and her youngest grandson graduates in June 2024, Dr. Whyte supports the levy, on that will not directly benefit her family.

    Listen to why Dr. Whyte supports the levy and what she believes it means to the city of Shaker Heights and its residents.

  • Ep 7 - Supporting Issue 13: Early Nester and Empty Nesters
    2023/10/24
    The majority of residents of Shaker Heights do not have children in the Shaker Heights school system. For that reason, we feel it is important to hear from members of this constituency. So in this episode, we talk with four Shaker school district taxpayers, three of whom live in Shaker Heights and one who lives in the city of Cleveland (near Shaker Square) and pays Shaker Heights school taxes. Three of our guests don’t have children or grandchildren in the school district while one of them has two young boys who will be eligible for preK in the coming years.

    We asked those who have no children in the district, why they support the levy. Conventional wisdom says that those who have children in the district will support the levy but those who don’t may not. But these three do support the levy . . . and their reasons are informative.
    One participant, who has no children and doesn’t live in Shaker Heights proper, is a passionate supporter of the levy. Her reasons may surprise you.

    To the young professional and mother whose children have yet to enter the Shaker system, we asked why she is choosing to send her children to Shaker schools and given the cost of the levy, why she supports it.
