Hi, I’m Lori Higgins for Chalkbeat Detroit, here with your morning roundup of education news.
Detroit voters on Aug. 4 will decide the fate of an operating millage proposal in the Detroit Public Schools Community District. It’s a crucial election in the city, because this millage will raise more than $100 million in operating revenue for the district. The state had been providing that revenue for the district since it was created in 2016. But not anymore. You can read my story that explains why, as well as answers key questions about the millage.
Local education coverage is disappearing. Chalkbeat helps families and educators understand what’s changing. We can’t do it without you.
