DETROIT PUBLIC SCHOOLS RESTRUCTURES TO SAVE $1 MILLION
----------------------------------------------------------------
DETROIT - The Detroit Board of Education has approved a
reorganization plan that will save the district $1 million,
according to The Detroit News.

As a part of its state-mandated deficit elimination plan, DPS
was supposed to reduce its central office staff. Superintendent
Connie Calloway proposed collapsing positions and redefining job
descriptions. The plan will result in salary savings of
$939,391, The News reported.

The deputy superintendent for instruction and associate
superintendent for curriculum and professional development
became a single position, as did the general counsel and the
deputy general counsel/acting director of risk management. In
addition to eliminating positions, Calloway did create a spot
for a director of accountability, according to The News.

The board approved the measure 7-3, with dissenters citing a
lack of information about the restructuring. But Calloway thinks
the plan will reduce a lot of the overlap found in these central
administrative positions.

"What we really had to do is look at what moves this district
forward and not protect positions or people," Calloway told The
News. "What we saw was a lot of duplication."
