Are they moving one school into another? I want to know what type of school it will be and what the financial commitment is. I want as much information as I can get. I want to know everything,” Sawyer said. “I’m not advocating for school closings. But I acknowledge there are tremendously underutilized schools in the Englewood area.

Congressional Dems To Snyder

... Michigan’s so-called “failing schools” law and is studying possible replacements. The Democratic Congressional delegation, in their letter to Snyder, argued the closure plan runs counter to the federal Every Student Succeeds Act, which require states to work collaboratively with local school districts. “Closing a school forces kids to attend a school outside their community, creating many problems for both students and parents,” they wrote, noting that in at least one instance, the School Reform Office told a River Rouge parent to consider new schools as far as 45 miles away. “This would create incredible burdens on working parents and students, especially those who depend on public transportation to attend schools.”. The Snyder administration has been working to calm fears about the potential school closures, noting that ongoing hardship reviews mean schools that made the initial list will not necessarily be shuttered. “There is no way in the world ...

Democrats In Washington Ask Snyder To Stop School Closings

... Not only is that type of collaboration required by federal law, it is also what local parents are demanding and what is best for our children. The state must stop looking at children as numbers on a spreadsheet and provide struggling schools with the funding to escape the cycle of continual low performance.

The letter also included complaints that the state is not doing enough to help fix failing schools, saying "smaller class sizes, better instructional material and support for professional staff" are better long-term solutions than closing schools. The Michigan School Reform Office released its list of failing schools in January, and is expected to make a final decision about whether to close schools within the ...
