the State took. The State essentially took the buildings and decided the amount they would pay.
Under State authority $295.4 million was invested in 28 buildings that DPS is now leasing to charter schools,
community organizations or the state reform district, created to take control of the bottom 5% of schools.
there are so many vacant school buildings, Robert Bobb proposed new construction, which voters approved
only to have Governor Snyder seize the schools for a competing district (the EAA) and leases them from DPS
for only $1 million per year. This was a bait and switch on tax payers. According to the Detroit Free Press
analysis on October 27, 2013:
EAA. The schools and the amount invested are:
Brenda Scott Elementary/Middle: $35.1 million (new construction)
Burns Elementary/Middle: $274,862
Central High: $53.3 million
