Abstract

The article reports on the difficulties faced by the Detroit public school system, which has lost more students in the past year than any other district in the country. The city may have to close up to 51 schools. With an annual budget of $1.4 billion, the district is trying to pay off a $2 million shortfall from the 2004-2005 school year. The article explores the reasons for student loss, the impact on the budget, and the political ramifications of this decision.
