Catch the Hope, Detroit

Mayor Bing has made fixing schools a top priority. Emergency Financial Manager Bobb is bringing real accountability to the system. Some public and public charter schools are modeling excellence. Let’s build on that momentum.

Help us develop a comprehensive citywide education plan to transform our schools. For all kids … all neighborhoods … whether students are in Detroit public schools or one of the charter schools.

*****

Many thanks to the hundreds of parents and citizens who attended one of our six community meetings to share their views on how to improve Detroit’s schools … and the many others who completed one of our online surveys.
