The health clinic system is in its pilot program at four Metropolitan School District schools ? John Adams College & Career Academy, the John Marshall School of Engineering, Orchard School of Science, and Mary McLeod Bethune PreK-8 ? where students and educators are eligible to receive services. The funding would add three more health clinics and telehealth services. (Subscription: cleveland.com)
