More bad news for Detroit: Michigan education officials have ordered half of the city's public schools closed in order to balance the district's books. Robert Bobb, Detroit's Emergency Financial Manager, is now tasked with implementing a plan that will consolidate educational services.
Bobb confirmed he is working to implement the plan that will shrink the district to 72 schools for a projected 58,570 students in 2014.
The move would vault average class size in the city above 60 students.
