Catch the hope, Detroit

Mayor Bing has made fixing schools a top priority. Emergency Financial Manager Bobb is bringing some real accountability to the system. Some public and public charter schools are modeling excellence.

Let's build on that momentum.

Help us develop a comprehensive citywide education plan to transform our schools. For all kids... all neighborhoods. Choose from one of six community meetings:

  • Mon., Nov. 30 Osborn High School, 11600 E. 7 Mile Rd.
  • Tues., Dec. 1 YouthVille, Detroit, 7375 Woodward
  • Wed., Dec. 2 Southeastern High School, 3030 Fairview St.
  • Thurs., Dec. 3 Most Holy Redeemer Church, 1721 Junction St.
  • Mon., Dec. 7 Henry Ford High School, 20000 Evergreen Rd.
  • Tues., Dec. 8 Detroit Community High School, 12675 Burt Rd.

Free dinner (5:30 - 6:00) and child care, plus $300 worth of Visa gift cards, including an early-bird raffle.

All meetings from 6 - 8 p.m. No speeches or lectures, just small group discussions to get your input.
