Hi, I’m Lori Higgins for Chalkbeat Detroit, here with your morning roundup of education news.
In today’s top story, Hannah Dellinger takes readers inside one of the Detroit school district’s 10 Health Hubs, and the “navigators” who help connect students and families to resources they need, from housing to medical care. The district created these health hubs to improve attendance, and officials say they have helped to do that since the first ones opened in 2023. You can read Hannah’s story for more.
Also, don’t forget to take our survey about Michigan’s gubernatorial contest, and let us know what educaiton issues you want the next governor to address.
Local education coverage is disappearing. Chalkbeat helps families and educators understand what’s changing. We can’t do it without you.
