Robert Bopp was appointed by DEMOCRAT governor Jennifer "You Haven't Seen Anything Yet" Granholm.

Robert Bopp is himself a Democrat.

And even Robert Bopp knows the teachers union is draining what LITTLE wealth is left in Detroit.

I've just gotta smile.

Robert Bobb and Dave Bing are true democrats but they appear to be fairly pragmatic despite a few typical democrat departures from reality. Detroit could do a whole lot worse.

One of Bobbs first acts was to stop mailing paychecks to post office boxes. He found something like 200 non existent employees.

This is what the recession looks like in a country that’s decided to disinvest in public education.

Oh bulls**t.

We spend billions in this country on education but unfortunately a significant portion of that money is wasted on chieftains and pensions.

According to the New York Times, there are as many students enrolled in charter schools as there are in traditional public schools, and there’s even talk of converting the entire district to charter school control.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Oh this should be good... we get to sit back and watch the Unions and the Democrat party consume each other. I’m reminded of “Escape from LA”, where the city got so bad they just walled off that part of the country and let the miscreants fight each other. Too bad we don’t have a wall around Detroit.

It’s literally going to be murder on 7/11 and liquor store clerks.

Babysitting illiterate pre-thugs doesn’t have much economic value.

Dumping the edjamkaation union is just lightening the pig trough lifeboat.

Doesn’t Robert Bobb realize that it took teachers to educate HIM to the extent he’s qualified for his current job? Oh, the humanity.

"It’s unlikely that every layoff notice will result in actual layoffs, but under the district’s union contract they must notify teachers who face potential job losses. The final numbers of actual layoffs will go into effect in late July."

These layoffs are becoming common toward the end of school year. Some get their notices to return at the end of the year, others over the summer.

Don't know about Michigan, but here layoff notices for union teachers are routine and required by contract.

They are done to manage the yearly reorganization of classes, because without timely notices, ya have to keep and fully pay any teachers that ya don't needed for benign reasons like declining enrollment.

No more teachers in Detroit? It might actually raise the students’ test scores.

It would be nice if, as a condition of re-employment, a teacher had to get an above-50th-percentile score on an SAT-II subject-matter test on each subject they would be teaching. But the EEOC would bar that.
