  • The Dismantling of an Urban School System: Detroit, 1980-2014
    The Dismantling of an Urban School System: Detroit, 1980-2014 by Leanne Kang A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Educational Studies) in the University of Michigan 2015 Doctoral Committee: Professor Jeffrey E. Mirel, Co-Chair Associate Professor Robert B. Bain, Co-Chair Professor Vincent L. Hutchings Associate Professor Vilma M. Mesa Assistant Professor Angeline Spain © Leanne Kang 2015 DEDICATION To my former students. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This dissertation was possible due in large part to my adviser, Jeffrey Mirel and his seminal study of the Detroit Public Schools (1907-81). Inspired by The Rise and Fall of an Urban School System—which I title my dissertation after—I decided early in my graduate work to investigate what happened to Detroit’s school system after 1980. Thanks to Jeff’s mentorship, I quickly found a research topic that was deeply meaningful and interesting to the very end. He and his wife, Barbara Mirel, are also patrons of my husband’s music. Jeff was the adviser every graduate student hopes to have. The completion of this dissertation would not have been possible without Bob Bain courageously jumping into the middle of a project. I was so fortunate; Bob is one of the smartest people I have ever met. He modeled a way of thinking that I will take with me for the rest of my career. His feedback on every draft was incredibly insightful—sometimes groundbreaking— helping me see where to go next in the jungle of data and theory. And always, Bob believed in me and this project.

    MCALVEY MERCHANT & ASSOCIATES CAPITOL NEWS UPDATE February 10, 2017 CAPITOL NEWS UPDATE WEEK OF FEBRUARY 6, 2017 Integrity, Individual Attention. Precision Strategy. Proven Results GOVERNOR’S BUDGET PLAN INCLUDES SAVING AND SPENDING Gov. Rick Snyder’s proposed budget for Fiscal Year 2018, presented on Feb. 8, has no tax cuts, no major spending cuts and no fee increases, but does plan to reduce debt and save for a rainy day. The budget is focused on “making smart, responsible investments in critical areas like education, infrastructure and the professional trades,” Snyder said in his statement. As for saving for a rainy day, the $56.3 billion budget plan sinks $260 million into the rainy day fund so Michigan could have $1 billion in savings for the first time since 2000 and lowers assumptions on investment returns, requiring more money into retirement funds. Pundits are saying the budget is similar to his previous six offerings with minimal increases in K-12, universities, state police and some human services programs. The overall budget includes $10.1 billion in general fund dollars, which is an increase of 1.75 percent compared to last year. Snyder, and his new budget director – former state representative Al Pscholka, hope to finish the budget process early. The budget now goes to the legislature to be hashed out, and will go into effect on Oct. 1, 2017. Additional highlights of the plan include: $325 million into the K-12 budget, as part of a $12.3 billion School Aid Fund (SAF). $115 million for the construction of a new psychiatric hospital to replace the Caro State Hospital, and a redo of the Secretary of State building at the secondary complex.
