I caught this story in the News this morning - http://www.detnews.com/article/20110...1-500-teachers and I haven't been up to date with what's going on with DPS. It looks like the state have a new bureaucracy called the the Education Achievement Authority in which bad schools are managed by the state [[question: is this the GOP idea of small government?)

We know that DPS has been on the edge of the cliff and now with teachers stated to be reduced by 40% and schools slated to be handed over to the state I have two questions.
1) Will the state forgive some of the debt that occurred at DPS now at $327 million?
2) Will the state do a better job of running schools inside Detroit?
