Detroit Public School

So what next after OBAMA won the election. Did you here his plans;money, job and education? I guess its time for updates. Recently, the Detroit Public Schools are in trouble. Its Schools system has had cash flow problems for years. It has been getting progressively worse, with more and more children leaving to charter schools every year. The state decided to give Detroit school districts a cash advance of $70 million so they can meet the expenses and pay their teachers as well. Robert Bobb, the newly appointed emergency financial manager, requested the funds early in order for him to get the house in order before he had to start panicking. President Obama has been giving out large sums of money for troubled school districts, perhaps that’s where a generous portion of the aid came from. Getting Detroit Public Schools in working order is a worthy cause. What do you think, good isn't it?
