DETROITSCHOOLSGUIDE.COM 3 About the CEC The Detroit Parents’ Guide to Schools is brought to you by the Community Education Commission (CEC). Founded in May 2018, the CEC is a nonprofit organization that works to increase access to quality education for all Detroit families. The CEC works with diverse stakeholders across the city to develop innovative, critical resources that address common challenges that Detroit families face, such as access to transportation, afterschool care, and transparent information about schools. According to the commission’s bylaws, the members include: • The Detroit Public Schools Community District administration • A Detroit Public Schools Community District teacher • A charter school operator • A charter school teacher • A representative from labor unions representing Detroit teachers • At least one parent of a school-aged Detroit child Get to know the team responsible for this guide and learn more about the work they do to help Detroit families succeed. What does the Community Education Commission do? Who’s on the Community Education Commission? CHAMPIONS ADDITIONAL RESOURCES THAT HELP MORE FAMILIES AND STUDENTS GET THE BEST EDUCATION THEY CAN IN DETROIT The Community Education Commission is led by a board of 11 members appointed by Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan. They are all volunteers. The CEC launched the GOAL Line, a novel program that offers transportation and afterschool programming to students who attend partner schools. In the 2019-2020 school year, GOAL Line has partnered with 14 district and charter schools. See page 148 for more information about the GOAL Line. SHARES INFORMATION ABOUT SCHOOLS The CEC is responsible for making sure that parents and students can easily access accurate and meaningful information about any district or charter school in the city. HOLDS PUBLIC MEETINGS According to the commission’s bylaws, the group will meet eight times per year. All meetings will be open to the public. Monique Marks CEO, Franklin-Wright Settlements, Inc.; CEC Chair Tonya Allen President and CEO, Skillman Foundation; CEC Vice Chair Ralph Bland CEO, New Paradigm for Education Teferi Brent Member, Detroit 300 and Goodwill Industries Venessa Keesler Deputy Superintendent, Michigan Department of Education Marsha A. Lewis Teacher, Detroit Public Schools Community District; CEC Secretary Matt Simoncini Former President and CEO, Lear Corporation ABOUT THE CEC On behalf of the Community Education Commission (CEC), I am excited to present to you the second edition of the Detroit Parents’ Guide to Schools. Since being formed last year by Mayor Duggan, the 11-member commission has been hard at work providing educational resources to students and families that extend beyond the school day. As a nonprofit, we do not run schools; however we believe that by providing needed wraparound support services, we can help students in Detroit reach their full capacity for learning. Studies have shown that children who participate in afterschool programs do better academically. We currently offer afterschool programming through our GOAL Line Program (page 148), which provides students in Northwest Detroit with transportation to and from our partner district and charter schools and to Northwest Activities Center for high-quality afterschool programming. We are actively looking for other areas in the city to expand the GOAL Line program. This year’s guide features information on school culture and top extracurricular activities. It also has an expanded parent resource section, which includes information on early childhood education, career, and educational resources for parents. It’s designed for use beyond the start of the school year. We hope that the Detroit Parents’ Guide to Schools becomes your trusted source for school information and parental resources as you plan for your child’s educational success.

See the Important School Contacts (page 146) for phone numbers and email addresses. DETROITSCHOOLSGUIDE.COM 7 Types of Schools in Detroit Detroit Public Schools Community District (DPSCD) Schools operated by DPSCD are free to all children who reside in Detroit. Starting in kindergarten, every child who lives in the district is guaranteed a spot in a DPSCD school. Transportation and other services may be provided based on the address where the child resides, the child’s educational needs, and any additional needs the child may have regarding transportation and/or student support. To apply, most DPSCD schools require families to complete an enrollment form at the school of their choice. Some schools may require a specialty application or examination, which is noted in the school’s profile under Enrollment. See page 15 to review documents that you’ll likely need to enroll in the school of your choice. Schools are directly overseen by an appointed superintendent and an elected school board. Board meetings must follow the public meetings laws. 8 Charter schools Private schools Charters operate under “open enrollment requirements” that mandate that any child who applies must be enrolled unless a seat is not available. When demand for a school is higher than availability, a public lottery is held to assign open seats. These are non-public schools that charge tuition for attendance. Some offer schoolbased financial aid and/or accept scholarships or outside forms of financial aid. These public schools are open and free to all Detroit students, regardless of their neighborhood boundaries. Students from anywhere in the city may apply to any Detroit charter school. Each school has its own application process. Enrollment requirements can be found by reviewing school profile pages in the Detroit Parents’ Guide to Schools, by visiting the school’s website, and/or by contacting the school. Charters open via charter contracts issued by a select group of authorizers that are responsible for oversight of charter schools in Michigan. Charters must meet the same laws as traditional public schools for serving families experiencing homelessness/ transition, special education students, and youth returning from incarceration. A board oversees each school and holds public meetings according to law.

School Decision Timeline NOVEMBER–DECEMBER Plan your time for school visits, testing, enrollment, and more. JAN–FEB FEB–MAY Transition grade open houses Select admission testing Re-enrollment for current schools Open houses & events Many DPSCD schools and charters host open houses for kindergarten and ninth grade. Certain schools begin enrolling as early as fall for the next school year, and some open houses occur in October and November. DPSCD exam school admissions testing for fall 2020 admission. After the holiday break, many schools begin re-enrollment for current students and open applications for new students. Schools that follow open enrollment rules host a lottery if applications exceed the number of seats available by grade level. Many charters host activities in collaboration with one another. DPSCD is known to host school tours, a high school expo and kindergarten round-up events. In May, many schools host a second round of citywide open houses or events to ensure that families who missed the first window can enroll students prior to the end of the current school year. MARCH–APRIL APRIL Acceptance & waitlist notifications DPSCD enrollment center Summer hours Families and students typically are notified of their acceptance to a school and/or placed on a waiting list. Some schools continue to accept applications on a “rolling” basis, filling seats as they become available. During spring break, DPSCD opens a full-service center where parents may enroll students for the upcoming school year. Most schools don’t have full-time summer hours. Families seeking to enroll for the following school year should call a school prior to visiting to ask questions, schedule a tour, and/or try to enroll.

DETROITSCHOOLSGUIDE.COM 9 1 Choosing a School: Step-by-Step Guide Consider Your Options Prioritize what is important to you Think about what’s most important to you in a school—culture, academics, location, transportation, afterschool activities, resources, etc.—and find schools that offer what you’re looking for. Here are some key topics to consider. School Education In the classroom • What school culture, values, or mission are you looking for? • What type of academics and curriculum best meet your student’s needs? • What courses does the school offer? • How does the school approach student safety and discipline? • What school hours and schedule work for you? (Check the school calendar. Do the holiday breaks, days off, and half days align with your schedule?) • How does the school engage and interact with parents and guardians? • Is supervised before- and afterschool care offered? What activities are offered on weekends? Do they require a fee? • Do you need transportation? If it’s not provided, are you OK with public transportation or private options? 10 CHOOSING A SCHOOL: STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE Gather information to help you find the right fit for your student and family. • Are there certain activities or courses that you want the school to offer? • How strong is the school academically and how well are students performing? For high schools, what is the graduation rate? • How does the school support gifted students or those with special needs? What resources are available (social workers, etc.)? • What are the expectations for kids who are enrolling for the first year? How does the school help those coming in behind or who are advanced? Refine your list Use the School Profile information starting on page 16 or visit DetroitSchoolsGuide.com to find information about public schools in Detroit and search by neighborhood, grade level, activities offered, school type, and more. • What is the average class size and student-to-teacher ratio? • What is the level of experience of the teachers and staff? Are the teachers certified? • Are parent volunteers welcome in the classroom? • Does your student have special needs that the school must meet? Once you have a shortlist of 4–7 schools, reach out to your friends, other parents, community members, and educators to see what they know about the schools. Ask about culture, the administration, and any other things you consider important.

DETROITSCHOOLSGUIDE.COM 13 3 4 Schedule a Tour Find out if a school is the right fit by asking these questions while on school tours and visits. Plan your visit Once you’ve created a shortlist of potential schools, make time to visit the schools in person. When you schedule your tour, make sure there’s time to talk with the principal, teachers, or other staff. Observe Interview Look for these things while you walk around the school: Talk with the principal and school staff to find out if the school is a good fit for your student. Here are some sample questions to get you started: • Does the school feel welcoming? FOR ALL SCHOOLS FOR HIGH SCHOOLS • Is the building neat and clean? Do things appear to be in good working order? • How are you working to make sure every child is learning and making progress? • How does this school prepare students for college? For careers? • Do you feel comfortable with the security measures in place? Does the location seem safe? • How does the school support students who have academic, behavioral/emotional, or social difficulties? How will the school support my student’s needs? ❏• How does your counselor help students choose classes and make decisions about college, careers, and life after high school? • What activities are available to students beyond the classroom? For more information on high school resources, read Preparing for Post-Graduation on page 144. • How are adults interacting with students? • What are students doing? Do they look interested and engaged? • What technology is available in libraries or classrooms? • How would you describe the school culture? Remember: Always listen to your instincts!

Would I be? • Does the administration and teaching staff seem open to input/feedback? • Do I have all the information that I need to be comfortable with this choice? If not, what else do I need?

Did you know? • Kids who aren’t reading at grade level by 3rd grade are four times more likely to drop out of school (Heckman, J.J. 2017 in Hope Starts Here report). • Low-income children who participate in high-quality ECE earn up to 25% higher incomes than their peers when they grow up (Heckman, J.J. 2017 in Hope Starts Here report). • Research finds that nearly half of the black-white kindergarten achievement gap could be eliminated with high-quality ECE (Duncan and Magnuson 2013 in 2014 White House report). CURRICULUM ECE centers are staffed with teachers who have varying degrees of experience and professional training, which may include a degree in early childhood education and continuing professional development coursework. Some ECE centers follow a structured curriculum and/ or Great Start to Readiness, Michigan’s approved set of curricula for use in the statewide PreK program. DETROITSCHOOLSGUIDE.COM 137 313 Reads! 313 Reads! is a citywide initiative that works to ensure that all children in Detroit are reading at grade level by 3rd grade. 0–4 years Why 3rd grade reading matters After 3rd grade, students switch from learning how to read to using reading skills to learn other subjects like math, science, and history. Without a strong reading foundation by 3rd grade, students may start to fall behind. Third-grade reading is also the most important predictor of high school graduation and career success.

If you can’t make it during the scheduled time, ask the school if you can schedule a meeting for another time. Some schools even offer parent-teacher home visits. Parent classes and support groups help parents and guardians develop important tools, new skills, and the confidence to become strong advocates and support their students academically, socially, and emotionally. Join a parent or community group Parent Academy focuses on three key pillars: Student Achievement, Personal and Professional Development, and Parenting/Advocacy. Classes are free and offered in convenient locations around Detroit. At many schools, parents meet regularly as a group to discuss ways to support school leadership and identify ways to improve the school. This group is usually called the Parent Teacher Association (PTA) or Parent Teacher Organization (PTO). If you are unable to attend these meetings, find out if the school posts minutes on their website. Volunteer at the school Ask your student’s teacher or the school administrators what opportunities exist for parents to volunteer in the school. It’s a great way to meet the staff and students, to support the school, and to get involved in your student’s education. 140 PARENT RESOURCES Engage in your child’s education and help your student have a more positive attitude toward school and learning.

Right to... • an education free from discrimination, harassment, and bullying • due process • protection from the use of any unlawful corporal punishment by school staff • freedom of expression • freedom from unreasonable searches and seizure Responsibility to... • be in school on time each day unless a tardy or absence is excused (students with more than 10 unexcused absences per school year may be considered truant) • participate fully in the learning process • reasonably avoid any behavior that is detrimental to their or another student’s educational goals • respect school staff and respect other students • identify themselves upon request Students experiencing homelessness Children who are displaced have the right to enroll and remain enrolled in their school, per the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act of 1987 (reauthorized by Title X, Part C of ESEA). Schools must ensure access to transportation and academic supports as deemed necessary. All public schools should have a designated homeless liaison. By law, “homelessness” covers a variety of circumstances, from youth who lack a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence to those who live in a motel, hotel, trailer, or emergency shelter to youth in migratory or foster care situations. Students with special needs Under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), students with special needs will receive a “free appropriate public education” tailored to their needs. All public schools must serve students identified for special education. Parents have the legal right to request an evaluation of their children for special education services at any time. Districts must get parents’ informed consent before providing such services for the first time. All students should be educated in the “least restrictive environment,” whether in general education classrooms with extra supports or, in some cases, self-contained classrooms or center-based programs. Services are provided for a wide range of disabilities, including cognitive, emotional or visual impairment, autism, and specific learning disabilities. Services include social work, psychological testing, speech and language therapy, occupational and physical therapy, assistive technology, and more. 142 PARENT RESOURCES Parents have the right to an “independent educational evaluation” of their child at public expense if they disagree with a school district’s evaluation. Services can be provided to children as early as infancy and up to age 26. Other special populations These populations include overage youth, youth returning from incarceration, English Language Learners, etc. Under the State School Aid Act, all students have the right to be educated by the district where they reside if they meet age requirements, haven’t graduated, and haven’t been suspended or expelled. Principals, counselors, and other school or transitional staff may be available to support families in connecting students to education programs. Under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Equal Educational Opportunities Act of 1974, public schools must ensure that English Language Learner (ELL) students can participate meaningfully and equally in educational programs. “I need help!” If you have concerns about your child’s rights and/or the services that they are receiving, contact the following parties for guidance and resources to mediate the situation. • School leadership (listed in the school profiles) • The district/authorizer that oversees the school (listed in the school profiles; see page 146 for contact information) • The Michigan Department of Education. Call (888) 320-8384 with questions related to special education. • A community agency (see page 147 for contact information of helpful community organizations) • United Way’s 211 Service.
