Cleveland Schools Adopt uReport Platform to Expand Athletic Coverage
More than 50 schools within the Cleveland Designated Market Area have signed on to use the uReport technology platform, an initiative fully funded by DistrictWON to revitalize coverage of student athletics and extracurricular activities ranging from marching bands to debate competitions.
The onboarding process is currently underway for an additional dozen schools, marking a significant shift in how local institutions document student life. By providing a centralized digital space, the platform enables districts to highlight events that previously lacked visibility. Avon Schools Athletic Director Erich Frombach noted that the program offers students hands-on experience in journalism and media production while ensuring their achievements reach a broader audience.
Beyond its utility for storytelling, the platform has secured 1EdTech TrustedED Apps Certification for Data Privacy, a distinction that validates its security protocols for handling student and educator information. This certification complements the tool's existing inclusion in the ISTE Learning Technology Directory. CEO Peter Fitzpatrick emphasized that the goal remains to grant exposure to thousands of events that have historically been overlooked, fostering deeper community connections through the voices of the students themselves.
