There’s talk of a major investment in Flint Community Schools.
But at this point, it’s still just talk.
Flint public schools have been caught in a downward spiral for years, declining enrollment fueled by aging buildings.
But key players in Flint have been talking behind the scenes about a plan to build new schools.
Those talks have produced a draft “Memorandum of Understanding” that outlines a plan to build new school buildings, including a replacement for the former Flint Central High School. The plan also includes money for addition educational resources. The plan’s price tag is pegged at $340 million dollars.
