Say no to Jim Crow! Shut down the Education Achievement Authority in Michigan.
Why is this important?
This is a separate and unequal school district with no public oversight. It took Detroit schools and students, leased both from the emergency manager of DPS, and is a "failing district." Only Black students are in it, and its intended expansion also targets only Black districts. The DPS emergency manager loaned this experimental district $12 million from DPS, which is cash-strapped. I am an elected school board member who hears the cries of students and parents in this Jim Crow district. The district lied on its federal loan application. Return the schools to Detroit and end the EAA. It is destroying the potential of Detroit students.
