Districts Are Blocking Charters From Using Vacant Schools
The Detroit public school district is blocking parents and children from buying a building the district doesn’t even own. Detroit Prep, a charter school, wants to move out of a church basement and into the former Anna Joyce Elementary building. Detroit’s public school district no longer owns the building. It sold the facility to a private landlord in 2014. But the school district – now called the Detroit Public Community Schools District (DPCSD) – is trying to block the sale anyway.
