DETROIT (AP) - May 12, 2009 Robert Bobb said Tuesday that the closings will save the
district $14 million annually beginning with the 2010-2011 budget.
He said 40 other schools will be restructured.
The announcement comes after weeks of study by Bobb and several
community meetings. He says improving student achievement is the
"No. 1 goal."
Bobb says changes may include contracting with private
management, converting to charter schools or changing staff.
Bobb was appointed by Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm in January
to assume all financial authority in the district.
