WEEKEND MEMO Number 273 To: WCCCD Board of Trustees From: Dr. Curtis L. Ivery Date: March 23, 2001 I am pleased to announce that the District is preparing to enter into a third year partnership to provide advanced manufacturing training services to over 900 employees of Ford Motor Company's Livonia Transmission and Dearborn Engine plants. The Michigan Economic Development Corporation announced this week that Economic Development Job Training funds in the amount of $875,000 is being awarded to the District to support this training initiative. This announcement demonstrates that the District is in alignment with our business community. Our ability to build effective relationships will ensure that the District continues to support rapidly advancing technologies in a more global economy. Our sincere appreciation to the Workforce and Economic Development Department for their efforts to help align the District with the "high skill, high demand, high wage" economy. This week, the Workforce and Economic Development/Career & Technical Education Division, under the direction of Dr. Mary Smith, sponsored a seminar on Web­based Education Development Plans. Dr. Joanne Mahony and Ms. Saundra Carter, consultants from the Michigan Department of Career Development, presented an excellent and informative seminar on helping the learner to develop, document, and update a unique plan of career and educational preparation, based on thoughtfully selected and attainable career goals and educational options. This computerized plan will provide guidance in taking effective steps to enter or to advance in a career pathway of choice. Campus Deans, Provosts, Campus Assistant Deans for Instruction, Program Directors and ACCESS personnel were in attendance. It is anticipated that administrative links will be implemented District­wide for the Fall 2001 semester, allowing parents, faculty and students to access electronically career pathways for WCCCD students. The Detroit Metropolitan Police Academy held its second graduation on Tuesday of this week at the Northwest Campus. Numerous police officials, including Police Chief Benny Napoleon, attended the ceremony. Other law enforcement agencies such as, the FBI, the Michigan State Police, the Immigration Department and others were in attendance. 2 Today, we held our annual Legislative Lunch with the Wayne County and near by delegation. This was probably one of our better legislative sessions. We had the opportunity to promote ongoing events and involve them in one of our strategic planning initiatives with the larger community. I want to thank our Government Relations staff for planning this very productive event.

    Retired United States Congressmen from the State of Michigan

    Retired United States Congressmen from the State of Michigan Submitted by Joshua Koss To The Honors College Oakland University In partial fulfillment of the requirement to graduate from The Honors College 1 Abstract Conventional wisdom in the study of members of Congress, pioneered by Richard Fenno, argues that one of the chief goals of elected officials is their reelection. However, this theory does not account for those who willingly retire from Congress. Who are these former members and what activities do they pursue once they leave office? To answer the first question, this project analyzes data on retired members of Congress from the state of Michigan regarding the years they served, party identification, and their age of retirement. The second and perhaps more interesting question in this research, examines the post-congressional careers of former members of Congress and whether their new line of work has any connections with their time in Congress through committee assignments and issue advocacy. In addition to quantitative analysis of the attributes of former members and their post-congressional careers, a qualitative analysis is conducted through a comparative case study of retired Senator Donald Riegle and former Representative Mike Rogers. This aspect of the study more closely examines their respective career paths through congress and post-congressional vocations. 2 Introduction In 1974, Democratic Congresswoman Martha Griffiths announced her retirement from the House of Representatives citing her age, 62, as a key motivation for the decision. After this, Griffiths would serve two terms as Michigan Lieutenant Governor before being dropped off the ticket, at the age of 78, due to concerns about her age, a claim she deemed “ridiculous” (“Griffiths, Martha Wright”).

    DETROIT BOARD of EDUCATION with Members of the Community Title VI Complaint Against Governor Rick Snyder

    ABRIDGED VERSION DETROIT BOARD OF EDUCATION with Members of the Community Title VI Complaint Against Governor Rick Snyder July 27, 2015 1 2 3 4 Public education in America made this country great, but the racist tidal wave dissolving "Urban" schools in Michigan lead by Governor Snyder is the New Trail of Tears. Under this governor, urban schools have deteriorated into community eyesores and crime havens which are destroying the fabric of minority neighborhoods, and being replaced by experimental private models which have been proven ill equipped to provide quality learning environments. These institutions deny students with learning disabilities and other challenges an equal opportunity to an education, creating truly separate and unequal systems between white and black once again. Earl Rickman Past President, National Association of School Boards 5 TIMELINE The State of Michigan has been in authority over the Detroit Public Schools for approximately 13 of the last 16 years and is a recipient of Federal funds. Detroit Public Schools is a majority-minority district with the highest concentration of minorities of any city of 100,000 residents according to the 2010 US Census. 1994 In 1994, residents approved a $1.5 billion dollar capital bond program for Detroit Public Schools, which they will be paying for until at least 2033. The original bond was to be used to repair and renovate school buildings to service a then stable student enrollment of 167,000 students. The control of the spending of the bond dollars was a hotly contested issue, where various parties tried to take planning and spending authority from the school board.

  • Peer Mediation Proposed for All Detroit Public Schools

    Peer Mediation Proposed for All Detroit Public Schools

    Your Document-Electric Library http ://www.elibrary.com/id/2525/getdoc.cgi?id=50001297x0y164&O)D S~QOO1D020&Forn Peer mediation proposed for all Detroit public schools Peer mediation proposed for all Detroit Public Schools. Ron Boland, a counselor in Detroit's Finney High School, has co-authored an extensive proposal to provide peer mediation programs to all Detroit public schools in order to resolve conflicts between student and reduce violence. Also sponsoring the proposal are Sharon Miller, Director ofthe Neighborhood Reconciliation Center and Dr. Brantley Johnson. In the program, young people would be trained to receive mediation training and assigned to help students resolve conflicts. Mediators do not judge who is right or who is wrong or settle conflicts, but help people involved work out a settlement acceptable to both sides. Because "peer pressure" often reinforces aggressiveness, and makes children and teenagers see violence as necessary to gain "respect" or recognition of manhood, as feel they will be considered weak if they "back down," observers believe that having their fellow students involved in dispute resolution programs will increase their effectiveness . IN 1993, Boland stated, Western International High School within Southwest Detroit started training teachers, counselors, community leaders, and administrators in mediation (including the principal, Gloria Clark- Arnold, who encouraged the program.) They later arranged a 16 hour training program for 18 selected student candidates, Boland said. "As a lead trainer in those sessions," Boland stated, "I was impressed with the enthusiasm of the participants and the manner in which they absorbed the information presented, as well as the skills demonstrated .

    THUMB'' EVENT BRIEF the AREA: Almost Entirely Agricultural. The

    This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu MICHIGAN "THUMB'' EVENT BRIEF THE AREA: Almost entirely agricultural. The chief products in the area are navy beans (USED IN SENATE BEAN SOUP) sugar beets and corn. Sanilac County has a higher degree of dairy farming than Tuscola or Huron. THE ISSUES: The chief issue in the "thumb" is the farm crisis. The price of land is down. Farmers are receiving low prices for farm products. Production costs are high. Farm implement dealers are also in an economic crisis. A recent survey of agricultural bankers showed that the dollar values of ''good" farmland in Michigan's Lower Peninsula, which includes the Thumb, showed a 3 percent drop in the first quarter of 1986. The survey also indicated that the 3 percent decline in the first quarter compares to a 10 percent decline for the past year from April '85 to April '86. The survey confirms that the rate of decline in farmland values has slowed. The survey of 500 agricultural bankers was conducted by the Federal Reserve Bank's Chicago-based Seventh district. The district includes Michigan, Indiana, Iowa, Wisconsin, and Illinois. THE POLITICS: About 500 precinct delegate candidates from Huron, Tuscola, and Sanilac counties will attend tonight's fundraiser. About 350 precinct delegates will be elected from the Thumb area. Many delegate candidates have not made up their minds as to which presidential candidate they prefer. Many, since this is a heavy agricultural area, are waiting to hear you before they make a decision.
