Math. In june, 2011, Governor Rick Snyder was secretary of education education introduced a revolutionary experiment to improve michigans lowest performing schools, taking the bottom 5 and consolidating them into a staterun district. As a result, 15 schools formerly part of the Detroit Public School system are now in the hands of the Educational Achievement authority. Many have cited the lack of a democratic process to elect board trustees. Whenever you have a governor who takes and consolidates all of that and says, i, the governor, can decide on behalf of all, thats problematic. Because youre really diminishing diversity. Youre diminishing different views, perspectives, peoples ability to weigh in and have their voice herd.
