Gov Engler seeks to abolish Detroit school board
Gov. Engler asks Legislature to abolish the elected Detroit school board and empower Mayor Archer to appoint a new one, a plan supported by about half of residents but opposed by many in Detroit who view it as a move by white leaders. The proposal mirrors Chicago and Cleveland efforts, calling for a five year appointed board with a public referendum later.
