It was announced this week that Detroit Public Schools (DPS) Emergency Manager Darnell Earley will resign, effective February 29. In a statement, Mr. Earley said “When I was appointed to this position, Governor Snyder and I agreed that our goal was for me to be the last emergency manager appointed to DPS. I have completed the comprehensive restructuring, necessary to downsizing the central office, and the development of a network structure that empowers the educational leadership of our schools to direct more resources toward classroom instruction.” Governor Rick Snyder will appoint a transition leader before the end of February to set in place his plan to restructure DPS to address the district’s academics and finances. That plan is also a part of legislation currently being considered in the Senate Government Operations Committee.
