  4. A day in the D: councilwoman pleaded guilty in a bribery scandal; teachers union investigates embezzlement; Red Wings seek new Joe lease.
  5. US Ed Secr: charter school leaders should be players in turning around low-performing schools & aggressively hold their schools accountable.

  10. A spirited discussion going on at Detroit Athletic Club with ed experts on the fact the city needs more quality education options.
  11. @gnaeyaert Can you say with absolute certainty that charters don't send kids back to DPS after count day and keep $? Absolute certainty?
  12. NYTIMES: School turnarounds are tough. Good story but why it so hard to see that silver bullets don't exist? Otherwise, we'd know about 'em.
