Community conversations are being held to provide input to the new statewide Education Achievement Authority (EAA) that will impact the future of Detroit Schools and they want your input! The EAA is a statewide district that will have authority over under-performing schools in Michigan. Participants will discuss what should be included in school redesign, and how EAA schools will differ from traditional schools. See the recently published article in the Detroit Free Press to learn more.

Three community forums will be held in Detroit over the next two weeks--December 9,12 and 19th. BE THERE and have your voice heard! Location and RSVP information are provided below. You are receiving this e-mail because you participated in a Detroit URC Policy Advocacy Workshop in Detroit.
