  • 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.

  • Snapshot of U.S. Department of Education Office of Safe And
    Snapshot of U.S. Department of Education Office of Safe and Healthy Students (OSHS) Safe and Supportive Schools (S3) Grant to Michigan Department of Education TOTAL AMOUNT AWARDED TO MICHIGAN (2010-2014): $5,997,018 MI S3 PROGRAM SUMMARY The Michigan Safe and Supportive Schools (MI S3) grant primarily sought to improve staff and student wellness and reduce high rates of drug- and violence-related behavior in 22 schools across 21 school districts. MI S3 worked with participating districts and schools to help them collect and interpret annual survey, discipline, incident, and administrative data to choose and implement interventions for each school’s specific population and need. The MI S3 grant placed a unique focus on staff and student wellness efforts to improve school climate and student outcomes. Grant activities also paid special attention to improving school safety in Michigan’s high-need schools, particularly through empowering “meaningful student involvement” at youth engagement conferences and promoting restorative justice practices that yielded increased instructional contact time. MI S3 also successfully engaged other State education offices in efforts to make school climate and culture a priority for school improvement. GOAL OF THE SAFE AND SUPPORTIVE SCHOOLS PROGRAM S3 grantees reported annually on the number of participating schools with: • A decreased percentage of students who reported alcohol use in the past 30 days; • A decreased percentage of students who reported harassment or bullying on school property; • Improvement of school safety scores (as defined by each grantee); and • A decrease in the number of suspensions for violence without injury. These measures were defined by the Department of Education to fulfill the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) which requires federal grantees to track and report their progress.

  • 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 .

DESCRIPTORS Academic Achievement; Attitude Change; *Dropout Prevention; *Grade 9; *High School Students; High Schools; Principals; Program Evaluation; Public Schools; *School Restructuring; Tables (Data); Teacher Attitudes; *Teachers; Teaching Methods; *Urban Schools; Urban Youth IDENTIFIERS *Detroit Public Schools MI ABSTRACT The Ninth Grade Restructuring Program of the Detroit (Michigan) public schools was designed to restructure the ninth grade in ways that improve academic performance, develop positive attitudes toward learning, improve the school environment, reduce the dropout rate, and increase the graduation rate of students. Features of the program were instructional and direct noninstructional services, such as social work services, counseling and psychological services, tutoring by student assistants with teacher supervision, and parent participation in instructional and noninstructional activities. This report presents findings from the second year evaluation in Area A of the Detroit schools. Six principals completed a survey, and 83% believed that the program boosted student achievement. Teachers (n=58) generally thought (77%) that the program raised student achievement. Seven ninth grade administrators who responded also generally thought that the program raised achievement. Teachers and both groups of administrators identified areas in which improvements could be made and recommended its continuation. Recommendations included: the fostering of a school-within-a-school environment; continuing block scheduling; continuing to create clusters of students; and continuing to sensitize teachers to the special needs of ninth graders.
