Grand Boulevard Detroit, MI 48202-2710"〕 The district is currently under a state of a financial emergency and is currently run by an emergency manager instead of the school board and superintendent. Besides DPS, the Education Achievement Authority (EAA) operates 15 of the district's schools totalling 6,556 students as of the 2014-15 school year. ==History== Established in 1842,〔 Detroit Public Schools has grown in area with the city. Some of the schools in the district began as part of other school districts, such as various Greenfield Township and Springwells Township districts before these districts were made part of the Detroit Public Schools as the areas they covered were annexed to the city of Detroit. In 1917, the board membership was changed from ward-based to at-large elections. In 1999, the Michigan Legislature removed the locally elected board of education amid allegations of mismanagement and replaced it with a reform board appointed by the mayor and governor. The elected board of education returned following a city referendum in 2005. The first election of the new eleven member board of education, with four chosen at-large and seven by district, occurred on November 8, 2005. Before the district occupied the Fisher Building, its headquarters were in the Macabees Building in Midtown Detroit.〔"(Contact Us )." Detroit Public Schools. May 10, 2000. Retrieved on November 7, 2009.〕 The district paid the owner of the Fisher Building $24.1 million in 2002 so the district could occupy five floors in the building. This was more than the owner of the Fisher Building paid to buy the building one year earlier. The district's emergency financial manager, Robert Bobb, said in 2009 that he was investigating how the school board agreed to the lease in the Fisher Building.〔 ((Archive ))〕 Reginald Turner, who served on Detroit School Board from 2000 to 2003, said that he was told that it would be less expensive to occupy the Fisher Building than it would to remodel the Maccabees Building.〔 ((Archive ))〕 In May 2011, Roy Roberts was appointed DPS's emergency manager by Governor Rick Snyder. In September 2011, a new statewide district, Education Achievement Authority, will take over some of Detroit's failing schools as selected by the emergency manager with up to 16 expected. On January 13, 2015, Darnell Earley was appointed as the new emergency manager for the school district by Snyder.〔 Highland Park Community High School of Highland Park Schools closed in 2015, and at that time DPS assumed responsibility for high school education of students in Highland Park, Michigan.〔Lewis, Sharon D.

DPS will be the students’ home district."〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Detroit Public Schools」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
