Detroit Public Schools Emergency Financial Manager Robert Bobb announced today that a judge's ruling Friday keeping him out the district's academics has forced him to shut down an extended day learning program for about 9,700 students and he may have to cancel summer school.

And Bobb took shots at the elected school board, which sued to halt his academic plan, calling it "totally ineffective".

"Many of them were a part of the process that got us where we are today," Bobb said at a noon press conference outside McKenny Elementary School on the city's west side.

Bobb has done a decent job so far avoiding the tit-for-tat that characterizes so much of what passes as discourse in the city. I'm pretty disappointed by his response to this ruling.
