Very surprised this didn't show up on the board yesterday.

The plan is to close 45 more schools. Since his arrival, he has closed now what amounts to half the schools in the district. Apparently he wants to explore the possiblility of asking the voters for another bond issue to fund an additional $700M in facility updates.
So what do you think? Is this the superintendent acting responsibly to address Detroit's educational crisis? Getting the number of schools in line with the number of students and providing them with state of the art facilities? Or is this indicative of the destruction of the district. And a grab of public money to update the existing buildings before he hands them over to charters?
