Detroit Public Schools names principals for 2010-2011
Fifty-two Detroit Public Schools will have new principals at the helm when the new school year begins on Tuesday, Sept. 7.
The district saw 39 principals retire at the end of the 2009-2010 school year, prompting most of the changes. Sixteen principals were reassigned because their schools are being overhauled under the School Improvement Grant program, which provides federal funds to make over low-performing schools. Ninety principals will remain in the same assignments for the coming school year.
