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.
