Just in case you thought the Detroit Public Schools school board cared about anything but power, listen to this interview with board President LaMar Lemmons. He gave Frank Beckmann an earful, and he talked a lot about how great it is the board has gained back some control, but he didn’t once mention how this is best for Detroit children.
And this is the school board that now has authority over academics in Detroit, because the state’s emergency manager law is temporarily suspended until the general election in November.
Take 10 minutes and listen.
