  • 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
    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 .

  • WEEKEND MEMO Number 273
    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.

  • Reforming and Improving the Detroit Public Schools, Council
    Reforming and Improving the Detroit Public Schools: Report of the Strategic Support Teams of the Council of the Great City Schools Submitted to the Detroit Public Schools By the Council of the Great City Schools 2008 Reforming and Improving the Detroit Public Schools ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The Council of the Great City Schools thanks the many individuals who contributed to this project to reform and improve the Detroit Public Schools. Their efforts and commitment were critical to our ability to present the district with the best possible proposals. First, we thank General Superintendent of Schools Dr. Connie Calloway. It is not easy to ask for the kind of review that a project such as this entails. It takes leadership, courage, openness, and an uncompromising commitment to the city’s children. She has those qualities in abundance. Second, we thank the Board of Education of the Detroit Public Schools for supporting this effort and meeting with our teams to discuss issues and challenges facing the district. We hope this report proves useful as the board leads the district through this critical period. Third, we thank staff members and teachers in the Detroit Public Schools, who provided all the time, documents, and data that the Council team needed to do its work. Their openness was critical to our understanding of the challenges faced by the Detroit school system. Fourth, we thank the many individuals, groups, organizations, and associations with which we met. Our only regret is that we were unable to meet with everyone who we know had something valuable to contribute. Fifth, the Council thanks the school districts and organizations that contributed staff to this effort.
