by a vast number of people.”
During his keynote address
to the conference Wednesday
evening, Detroit Mayor Mike
Duggan also outlined profound
problems
in
Detroit
Public
Schools and hailed the bill as
being the best solution available
to help the district. He also noted
how the emergency managers
of the district appointed by the
state since 2009 have not been
successful.
“The structure has no chance;
it doesn’t matter who you bring
in,” Duggan said. “(The state
has) run the system for seven
years because they said the
school board couldn’t do it, and
they’ve run a deficit every year.”
Duggan
also
hailed
Washington D.C. as a model
district in which a system similar
to the D.E.C. has worked. He said
Washington D.C. schools went
from being the worst district
in reading proficiency in 2007
to among the highest reading
proficiency of any urban school
district in America, and he
hopes the same transformation
happens in Detroit.
“Anybody
who
can
look
and say we should defend the
existing system, to me, there’s
something they are not paying
attention to,” Duggan said.
Quisenberry said the proposed
bill falls short, however, as a
means of recruiting new teaching
talent and fixing the system
already in place. He applauded
school systems in Colorado and
Massachusetts for having high
standards for educators, and
stressed that now is the time for
educators in Michigan to strive
to meet their models.
“It’s
about
increasing
standards and expectations for
all of our schools,” Quisenberry
said. “I would love this crowd,
this community, this chamber,
the people in this organization
standing up to Lansing and
saying now is the time to have
real standards and consistency.”
Though
Rakolta
and
Quisenberry agreed that deficit
spending in the district needs
to be controlled, Rakolta stated
that without the passing of the
senate bill, there will be more
losses incurred in the school
system.
“We have had this humongous
deficit spending, and I submit
that it will continue into the
future
regardless
of
what
happens in Lansing this week or
next,” Rakolta said.
Tonya Allen, president and
CEO of The Skillman Foundation
—
an
organization
helping
students graduate from high
school and prepare for college
and careers — highlighted the
importance of pushing beyond
personal perspectives in order to
fix the root of the problem.
“At some point or another, we
have to make a decision to take
away the things that don’t work
and add things that do work,”
Allen said. “The status quo is not
going to improve the quality of
schools for children.”
The panelists agreed that the
most important factor moving
forward is for the people of
Detroit to be involved for any
future system to work.
“What
will
happen
after
legislation will define who we
are,” Quisenberry said.
MACKINAC

In an interview with the Daily,
Kildee said he has started an
online petition and is calling
Michiganders who care about
equality to speak out against this
bill.
“It makes no sense ... it’s like
they are searching for a way
to pander to the far right by
creating a problem that doesn’t
exist,” Kildee said. “There is
no rational law to discriminate
against LGBT people. It’s an
obvious political pander, and it’s
destructive.”
State Rep. Jeff Irwin (D–Ann
Arbor) agreed that this is political
pandering attempting to appeal
to
extreme
and-or
religious
conservatives. However, he is
confident that the bill will never
be put to a vote.
“I don’t think it will come to
a vote because the leadership
understands that it’s bad for the
state and for them politically,”
Irwin said. “People realize that
this whole idea that young men
are going to try and switch
their gender to try and invade a
woman’s locker room is just not
realistic. It’s a fine soundbite,
but when you start to think
about it, nobody is going to do
that because of the severe social
stigma that they would receive.”
