No, mayoral control is not a magic bullet but whenever there is talk of change there is always one common denominator: money
You're right DPS has been falling downward for decades and the blame is on everyone. The board, the parents, the teachers, the students, everyone. One of the reason there is a call for mayoral control is because if Detroit don't make the first move then the next governor will surely do an Engler and the mayor will get control by default. Another reason for control is that Dept of Ed. has turned off the faucet for money coming to Detroit. Something has to change.
