Two Detroit lawmakers press state for literacy settlement funding

Two state lawmakers said it s time for their colleagues to approve and deliver $94.4 million in funding for literacy programs for Detroit students that are part of the legal settlement of a historic public education case. Gov. Gretchen Whitmer last May reached a settlement between the state and a group of Detroit students who sued over their right to literacy. In the deal, Whitmer agreed to ask the state Legislature to approve $94.4 million for literacy efforts for Detroit children. State Rep. Shri Thanedar, D-Detroit, introduced House Bill 4480, which would appropriate $94.4 million to fund literacy-related programs and initiatives for Detroit Public Schools Community District.

Literacy proficiency rates are in the single digits at the predominantly Black school system. Garcia, the charter’s superintendent, is trying to change that. “It’s not a secret that literacy rates are lower in communities of color,” Garcia said. “But our students of color are intelligent and as capable as any other students. So, what’s causing that gap?”
