dissolve school districts which have budget
and spending deficits which would prevent
themfromreopening in the fall.
The current reported deficit in Inkster is
in excess of $16 million, according to
accounting provided by the state. The dis-
trict needed about $800,000 to pay off credi-
tors in order to open inSeptember.
Robert Gaines III an education activist
who leads the Educate Inkster group in the
city said last week, before the official deci-
sion to close the district, that local reaction
to the new legislationwas very negative.
“People are not happy. Our community
schools could disappear and that will devas-
tate our community which is so focused on
our schools,” he said.
Gaines said that he felt the Inkster com-
munity was responsible in part for the cur-
rent threat to the district in that the resi-
dents and that parents, “failed to hold our
school board members accountable. We
failed to hold their feet to the fire in many
situations,” he said. Current
Superintendent of Inkster Schools Mischa
Bashir resigned her position last month stat-
ing that her last day would be July 12. She
has, according to Gaines, rescinded that res-
ignation and agreed to, “stay and see this
through.”
Prior the Bashir's resignation, layoff
notices were issued to every district employ-
ee, according to a former school boardmem-
ber. Whether other districts assuming the
Inkster students would hire any of those
employees is undecided while plans for the
dissolution of the district begin.
