Families say water leaked onto kids’ lunches at this Cleveland school

Families with students attending a boys’ school in Cleveland are speaking out about water leaks inside the building. They told us this has been happening for a while now, and they just want something done about it.

“As a volunteer, as a grandparent, I felt like I wanted to step up,” said Danita Craven. She reached out to the News 5 Investigators with concern for the teachers and her grandson, De’Brian Willis, who’s in 2nd grade at the Kenneth Clement Boys Leadership Academy on Woodworth Avenue.

She told us she’s seen water leaking from ceilings inside the school. Willis doesn’t like it.

“It makes me kind of confused because where did that water even come from?” Asked Willis.

Craven said she was in the school’s cafeteria recently, and a student came up to her.

“‘Ms. Craven, Ms. Craven, it’s water dripping down on my food,’ and the lunch lady was like just move the tray over,” said Craven. “If it got in the food, she made him throw it away and got him some more lunch.”

Willis doesn’t like water in his meals either.
