CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is scheduled to stop by a Cleveland charter school on Thursday before he heads to a pair of private fundraisers here.
Trump will appear at 2 p.m. at the Cleveland Arts and Social Sciences Academy on Shaker Boulevard, according to a notice that appeared Wednesday afternoon on the Trump campaign website. The school is in the predominantly African-American Woodland Hills neighborhood on the city's East Side.
The event is not open to the public, but is open to the media. A campaign aide did not immediately have additional details on the specifics of Trump's visit, although Trump, who has made supportive statements about charter schools, lately has made a conspicuous effort to try to salvage his image with minority voters.
As previously reported by cleveland.com, Trump is expected to appear at a private fundraiser later Thursday afternoon at the TownHall restaurant on West 25th Street. Later in the evening, he is expected to appear for a second private fundraiser at the home of Ed Crawford, a local industrialist and major GOP donor who is the Trump campaign's state finance chair.
Trump's Thursday visit will be his second trip to Cleveland this week. On Monday, he met with a small group of organized-labor figures at an American Legion hall in Brook Park before swinging by the Canfield Fair in Mahoning County.
