DETROIT — The worst-performing public schools in Detroit will be run by a new state authority — called the Educational Achievement System — for at least five years. After that period, the schools can rejoin the Detroit district, obtain a charter to operate independently or remain with the authority.
The schools will be among those that tested in the bottom five percent academically statewide, The Wall Street Journal reports. About 200 of Michigan’s 4,000 schools fall into that category and could be candidates for the new system if it works well for Detroit.
No new funding has been set aside for the ailing schools.
