About Us | Coalition for the Future of Detroit Schoolchildren

About Us

The Coalition for the Future of Detroit Schoolchildren formed on December 11, 2014, as an independent, diverse cross-section of Detroit leaders who came together to make recommendations to improve the city’s education system. Our first report (The Choice Is Ours) focused on how the state could help. Most of our recommendations were enacted. Now our priority is to focus on actions we can take as Detroiters to strengthen our schools.
