There's a rumor going around that Chaney will become a school of the arts under the Youngstown school system's reorganization.
Yes, I have received some information pertaining to this development.....
"A restructuring plan for the city schools will turn Chaney High School into a Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math and visual and performing arts school while students at East High School will complete interest-based surveys to gauge their career paths."

People living near Chaney hope that the quality of the students improves with the STEM/Arts curriculum. Previous students trashed up the neighborhood and often vandalized the school property.
