Michigan Future, Inc. (MFI) through its Michigan Future Schools initiative intends to make grants to help start two new small high schools in the fall of 2011.The focus of this initiative is on providing a high quality education to primarily low income and minority students in Detroit and its inner ring suburbs. The focus is on quality, not governance or location.
The Michigan Future Schools initiative is designed to work with traditional public school districts, charter schools and private schools. We will work with schools located south of Twelve Mile Road and east of Telegraph. Schools must be open to students from the City of Detroit. We will only work with new high schools. And only with schools that we believe have a high likelihood of meeting our student achievement expectations. For more information, see link (above). |
