The schools exist to educate, not employ.

---------------------------------------------------------------- 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." ______ SOURCE: The Detroit News, "Detroit schools board OKs reorganization touted to save $1M," Oct. 25, 2007 http://www.detnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/artic.../710250442/1026 |
