t3 9A WEDNESDAY, NOV. 19, 2014 WWW.FREEP.COM A Detroit-wide school enrollment system suggested universal application. Use a centralized clearinghouse to match students to schools. Build or purchase a state-of-the-art data management systems for all public schools. Explore other reforms such as a citywide school transportation system.
Neil Dorosin, head of the institute, said a grant from the Dell Foundation could help establish common enrollment in the city, a process that by some estimates could cost around $1 million. The goal is to have it publicly funded over the long term. Common enrollment is not without controversy. The recently launched One Newark system in New Jersey has sparked protests from residents who say they were left out of the planning process and that children were troit, during the board's monthly meeting. The arrival in Michigan this year of Paul Pastorek, former state superintendent in Louisiana, has fueled speculation about what's in store for the future of schools in Detroit, where the public school system is run by an emergency manager and facing a $127-million deficit.
Pastorek was at the helm in Louisiana when the state created the Recovery School District, which took over many of the schools in New Orleans after Hurricane Ka-trina. He was brought in by Snyder and has been having conversations with many people about education in Detroit, board president John Austin said.

matched with schools that were far away. Common enrollment is one of several possible reforms generating buzz as Detroit is expected to emerge from municipal bankruptcy by the end of this year. Both Duggan and Gov. Rick Snyder know that the revival and long-term success of the city is linked with having strong public schools. Duggan could not immediately be reached for comment late Tuesday.
Meanwhile, some members of the State Board of Education said Tuesday the board which provides general supervision over public education in the state, sets policy and advises the Legislature should play a role in the discussions about Detroit. "We have not been involved in those discussions," said Kathleen Straus, D-De- troit, such as academic performance or Detroit Public Schools' large deficit, it could be an important first step toward broader reforms. "Common enrollment is not the only answer, but it will help us move closer to having more cohesion around the education system in Detroit," said Sharlonda Buckman, CEO of the Detroit Parent Network. Buckman co-chaired an advisory group formed to explore common enrollment. Its members include Detroit Public Schools; the Education Achievement Authority, the state's reform district for the lowest-performing schools; Excellent Schools Detroit, a coalition of education, civic and community leaders; the Skillman Foundation; the Michigan Association of Public School Academies, a charter advocacy group, and oth er organizations.
After months of discussions, they created a new subcommittee this month to further explore setting up common enrollment in Detroit. Excellent Schools Detroit commissioned the report released Tuesday by the Institute for Innovation in Public School Choice, a nonprofit that designs common enrollment nationwide. It said Detroit is a complex public school market with Detroit Public Schools, dozens of charters run by multiple authorizers and a 15-school state reform district that is hard for parents to navigate. The report said the system fuels unhealthy competition among schools for students. The report recommends that school leaders: Create a single guide for all Detroit's public schools and a FROM PAGE 1A from school to school.
New Orleans, Denver, Newark, N.J., and Washington, D.C., all have some form of common enrollment. Under the system, parents typically fill out a single application for all or most publicly funded schools in an area, including charters. They rank their top preferences. A computer algorithm then matches students to available spots. Besides Duggan, the report says the system could also be overseen by the Michigan Department of Education, Detroit Public Schools or a hybrid of nonprofit groups.
But it says placing it under the mayor would provide greater accountability. While such a system by itself would not directly address long-term problems surrounding education in De- PRICE MICHIGAN'S I 1 1 VOTED BEST FLORIST FOR 6 YEARS VISIT OUR FLAGSHIP STORE IN COMMERCE ONLINE WWW.800WESLEYS.COM or CALL 1 -800-WESLEYS DAVID age 54, lost his battle with cancer on November 12, 2014.

DWYER-THIEDE ture, Science and the Arts proposed building a new teaching, research and museum facility for the biological sciences and some campus museums. The Department of Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology, and the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology are in the Edward Henry Kraus Building, which was built in 1915. "That has reached its limit in terms of ability to allow contemporary research and the number of researchers it can support," according to a document about the project. Demolition is proposed to begin in January. Overall construction is to be completed in the summer of 2018.
Funding is expected to be provided from resources of the College of Literature, Science and the Arts and the Office of the Associated Press The University of Michigan is moving forward on plans to demolish its more than century-old North Hall to make way for a $261-million science building. The Board of Regents plans to vote Thursday on the $9-million demolition of North Hall and the Museums Annex, the Ann Arbor News reported. Last year, officials said the North Hall would be too costly to repair. The building, the second oldest on the university's Ann Arbor campus, was decommissioned at a ceremony in July. Built between 1899 and 1900, it was the site of ROTC programs since 1940.
In February, the Board of Regents approved the new Biological Science Building project. The College of Litera POLLAK, DR. NORMAN 2 p.m. Hebrew Memorial Chapel (248) 543-f622. SAYYAE, WILLIAM 10 a.m.
