| MICHIGAN WORST IN THE NATION AT GRADUATING BLACK MALES |
JacksonBlazer writes, "
DETROIT, Mich. — A national report says Michigan is the worst in the nation when it comes to graduating black male students from high school. It also said Detroit has the second lowest rate among big-city public school districts. The report issued by the Schott Foundation for Public Education said Michigan graduated 33 percent of black males in 2005-06, compared with 74 percent of white males. Detroit Public Schools graduated 20 percent of black males and 17 percent of white
males. State Superintendent Mike Flanagan said the low graduation numbers are a major concern. He said Governor Granholm’s small high school initiative will help build greater relevance and relationships with schools and students.

| Chance Enrollment at Career Center Shapes into Life-Long Career |
JacksonBlazer writes, "JACKSON, Mich. – Kevin McGee had no idea that his future was about to be shaped when a high school friend encouraged him to enroll in the Jackson Area Career Center’s machining program over 30 years ago. Every year, over 1,000 students pass through Career Center classes.
Some have focused in on career goals, some are learning skills for a part-time job while in college, some come to explore career opportunities, and others go just to be with their friends. The latter was the case for Kevin McGee. A friend had enrolled in a class at the Career Center in 1977 called “Industrial Machines”."
