ability from central and area ad­
ministration to the local chools.
The creation of the Citizens
Education Committee to Enhance
Public Education in Detroit was
another empowered move made by
the Board.
The committee's report mirrored
the preceeding declaration passed
by the Board.
"In an empowered school, the
school's staff will have effective
control over the allocation of the
chool' budget, personnel and

• An empowered school will
have considerable discretion over
curriculum, instruction and other
school activitie ; be required to use
their own reativity and talent to

way they believe will be effective

LBERT SHANKER presi­
dent of the Detroit Federation of
Teachers, said chartering school is
a ure way of liberating school' and
holding them responsible to
develop innovative programs.
The empowered school mu t ob­
tain a written charter from the
Board prior to obtaining the control
. of its budget and resources.
. November 14, 1991 McGriff re­
quested that the policy on em­
powered/chartered schools include
all schools as eligible to become
empowered/chartered during the
1991-92 chool year.
The Anderson/Wilkerson study
which also includes an external
asessment of empowered programs
in cities such as Chicago, Illinois
and Rochester, New York is
scheduled to be available next

COUNCIL PRESIDENT Pro
Tern Christine Franklin said, "Town
Meetings would have a strong im­
pact."
Council President Dwight
Downes also supported the idea, but
said that town meetings should not
be held until the newly installed
Mayor Porter had appointed all his
officials.
"If we don't know who's here and
who's there," Downes warned,
"people will ask questions and not
know who's at first base."
