Hello! I’m Lori Higgins for Chalkbeat Detroit, here with your morning roundup of education news.
Four schools in the Detroit Public Schools Community District are closing at the end of this school year, and now another is set to close next year. BridgeDetroit’s Micah Walker reported last week that Thurgood Marshall Elementary School will close at the end of the 2026-27 school year. Micah’s story also has some new information about the closures, including what will become of the buildings. You can read more here.
