Detroit Public Schools, Michigan’s largest school district, serves nearly 90,000 students in 172 schools throughout the city of Detroit. The district’s mission is to create Centers of Excellence in every school in every neighborhood. The school systems’ administration, teachers and staff have a laser-like focus on creating learning opportunities to prepare children for the 21st Century and ensure they can compete in a global economy. Last year, the district led the state in the number of National Achievement Scholarship winners.
“I want to extend my profound thanks to everyone who supported the passage of Proposal S,” said Robert Bobb, DPS’ Emergency Financial Manager. “This is a time of change for the City of Detroit, change away from the old methods and old solutions, from the old players and the old games, from regressing about everything that went wrong to marching forward together for the bright future of our city and its children. We will now move forward quickly and aggressively to implement this $500.5 million bond, including eight new and ten modernized buildings.”
Detroit Public Schools has been coordinating with the Detroit Department of Health and Wellness Promotion (DHWP) and Children’s Hospital of Michigan’s CATCH Pediatric Mobile Team to develop a plan to prevent the spread of the H1N1 flu virus. The district is also preparing a plan in the event of an outbreak.

Detroit Public Schools’ Emergency Financial Manager, Robert Bobb, held a series of public town hall meetings on details of Proposal S, a $500.5 million bond referendum to take advantage of millions of dollars in stimulus funds that President Barack Obama made available to build new schools and modernize existing schools.
The event featured hundreds of DPS Students, bands from Cass Tech, Martin Luther King High School and others, clowns, Freedom Danz xpressions and Detroit Windsor Academy Dance team and Parade Company Floats.
The Emergency Financial Manager today announced an unprecedented redesign strategy that will allow four educational partners with a proven track record of raising student achievement to spearhead an historic transformation of 17 of the district's lowest-performing high schools.
