Just Over Half Of Students Show Up For First Day In Detroit

The Detroit Free Press (9/9, Dawsey, 226K) reports that "a little more than half of enrolled Detroit Public Schools students attended the first day of school on Tuesday," noting that low enrollment could threaten the district's funding. The piece notes that the district "has lost about 100,000 students during the last decade, costing the district millions and leading to closures of half of the district's schools. Last year, DPS enrolled about 74,000 students."
