To revise the composition of the Detroit reform school board put in place by the state to include the state Treasurer, four members appointed by the mayor, and four at-large members elected by district voters. The revised board would take control on Jan. 1, 2004. The bill would also require each school to have a site-based management team composed of the principal, two parents, two teachers, one counselor, one school department head, the school facility manager, and the school business manager. The site team would manage the budget and operations of the individual school, and the Detroit school board would be required to distribute to each school’s site-based management team 95 percent of the state per-pupil grants paid to the district attributable to the school.
