... be made by the school board in conjunction with staff and parents and the community.". The Detroit schools that could close include 16 in DPSCD, eight in the Education Achievement Authority state reform district and one charter school. Read more. Closing Detroit's Osborn High would hurt community, kids and others say. In addition to the event at Osborn, rallies were planned at some of the other targeted schools. "I hope people understand that the schools in the city are critical to the health of the city as a whole," Meriweather said in front of Osborn. "We need to be talking about how we support high-quality educational access for every neighborhood.". Various groups are planning to meet this weekend to talk about their concerns and ways they might be able to stop the closures. The Detroit Parent Network is holding two meetings on Saturday, from 10 a.m.-12:30 p.m. at the Eastside Community Network, 4401 Conner St., and from noon-2 p.m. at the ...

Congressional Dems To Snyder

... and communities.”. The Michigan School Reform Office last month released its latest round of top-to-bottom school rankings, including a list of schools that fall in the bottom five percent of the state for academic performance. The Snyder administration is considering plans to close 38 schools that made the priority list at least three straight years, including a handful of schools that have been flagged for poor academic performance 15 years running. The list includes 24 of 119 public schools in Detroit, meaning more than a third of Detroit schools could potentially be shuttered. The School Reform Office alerted parents with students in those schools last month, informing them of the potential closure and alternative schools, but is currently conducting “hardship” reviews to determine which buildings it will ultimately close. “We ask that you ensure these schools are not closed without consultation and support from the local community,” said the letter from Congressional Democrats. Snyder spokeswoman Anna Heaton said the School Reform Office already is consulting with districts, students and the Michigan Department of ...

On School Closings, Snyder Administration Leaves Parents With More Questions Than Answers

... year. Kevin Wong / Flickr - __link__ SPGCl 0. Originally published on February 22, 2017 5:26 pm. Stateside's conversation with Michigan Radio's Lindsey Smith and Jennifer Guerra. Some parents may have to drive their children ten, 20, even 30 miles to school next year. But those parents still aren't sure if that's the case yet, or if any of their options will be much better than their current schools. All the confusion is because last month, the state School Reform Office (SRO) announced that 38 schools could be closed at the end of this school year. The SRO has deemed these schools as failing because they've been ranked in the bottom 5% academically for three consecutive years. Parents of the kids who are attending one of the 38 schools received a letter from the SRO saying that their child's school could be closed. ...

Board To Hold Hearing Monday On School Closings

... her final recommendation and supporting data. At a previous school board meeting, Couch said her final recommendation cannot be altered substantially if a consolidation plan is to be submitted to the state by the April 1 deadline. If the board were to decide it wanted to close only one school, the consolidation process reportedly would have to start all over again. Couch has said the school board can make minor adjustments, though, based on public testimony, such as shifting boundary lines for schools. According to her report, public dialogue on declining student enrollment began in 2009, leading to the 2010 consolidation plan that saw the district’s three middle schools merge into Kent County Middle School in Chestertown. “Economic conditions have not improved, and changes in community demographics have had a negative impact on student enrollment. Since the 2010 Consolidation Plan was approved, the school system has seen a decline of 324 students resulting in $1.9 million (loss) in state and local aid,” Couch’s report states. ...

Give Our District A Chance:' Rally Fights Dps Closings

... “The charter schools aren’t interested in children like my son, because there’s no profit in him,” he said. Detroiter Jean Vortkamp said charter schools are not designed to benefit students. “The teachers don’t have pensions, they’re not treated right, so you’re not going to attract the best teachers,” said Vortkamp, 40. “Children need art. They need sports. They need public schools, not charter schools.”. Protesters on Friday repeatedly called on the state to support and improve existing schools. “What we should do is keep them open and intervene, on the both the infrastructure and educational issues,” said Russ Bellant, organizer of the rally. “We basically keep the schools open and rebuild them.”. Bellant, whose children attended DPS schools through 2009, acknowledged that Detroit schools underperform. “The state has played a destructive role for years in Detroit,” he said about years of emergency management over the district. “More resources shifted to administration and away from the classroom and I think the first priority is to ...

A Systemic Targeting Of Predominantly African Neighborhoods In America

... closings/takeovers: There is a huge undertone to all these school closings that are happening specifically in predominant African areas across the country. Here are the list of undertones behind them. 1. Building More Private Prisons To Lock Up African Kids, Particularly African Boys – One of the biggest undertones behind many of these school closings in predominant African neighborhoods across the country is that parasitic capitalists have no incentive to even care about educating our kids because they only care about systemically criminalizing and harming them to funnel them into the private prison system so they can continue to make money off of them. 2. Gentrification – Another undertone behind the school closings is that parasitic capitalists deliberately wanna make certain areas of the city “white again” by spiking up the mortgage rates on our homes as well as using dirty tactics like foreclosure to force us out of our homes so they can tear them down and rebuild them the way they see fit. If they tried to do that in other areas where other groups of people live, it’ll be immediately shut down. 3. Deliberate Political ...
