First Ring Districts
The First Ring Schools Collaborative (FRSC) is an organization of more than 100 superintendents and administrators from 16 school districts that border the City of Cleveland. The FRSC represents over 50,000 students, pre-K through grade 12. The FRSC was established in 2000 to help districts address the interrelated challenges of poverty, mobility, diversity, equity, and the achievement gap. 

In addition to sponsoring the First Ring Leadership Academy (FRLA) and the First Ring Student Leadership Institute (FRSLI), the FRSC has implemented student wellness initiatives, career development projects, academic achievement programs, and school-based health care programs. 

FRSC also supports networks of colleagues in similar roles, including administrators in Career Readiness, Curriculum, Early Childhood, EMIS Shared Services, Equity, Family and Community Engagement, High School Principals, Public Relations and Communications, Pupil Services, Registrars, Safety and Security, Superintendents, Transportation, Treasurers and NEO Alternative and Online Administrators.
