Detroit Mayor Puts Charter Expansion Plan on Hold

http://www.detnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070721/SCHOOLS/707210353/1003/METRO

Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick has announced his plan to open as many as 25 charter schools is on hold while he explores alternatives with union leaders, community activists, and the system's new superintendent. Kilpatrick said the group would announce a plan in late summer to address achievement, security, and other issues. "I've been asked to wait on (the charter plan), but it's not thrown away," Kilpatrick said. "I want to work within this group to make it happen ... but if we can't make it happen here locally, then I, as mayor, have to do something."
