Detroit Public Schools Community District’s Post

✨ 🛝 🪁 DPSCD students deserve joyful spaces designed for them to thrive. Our operations capital improvement team recently completed upgrades to our K-8 school playgrounds thanks to the financial investments by the district as approved by our Board of Education through our anchor investments. This means that our students and community now have access to high quality play spaces that not only bring safe and fun to recess, but also enhance the beauty of our schools and our neighborhoods. Today’s joy comes all the way from Brenda Scott Academy and is just one more example of the amazing investments designed for our students to grow and RISE. ☀️ -- To learn more about our facility investments, visit our website detroitk12.org/facilities #DPSCD #TheFutureIsRising #DPSCDBrickbyBrick #DPSCDFacilityImprovements

🚧🏫🛠️ Pardon our Dust! 🛠️🏫🚧 Recently, DPSCD celebrated a ground-breaking moment! Construction is underway for one of DPSCD's newest additions, the Southeastern High School Annex as part of our Facility Master Plan. As the school year came to an end, we took the opportunity to celebrate new beginnings. In a crowd full of students, alumni, elected officials, media, and our community, the district proudly shared our commitment to DPSCD Students' RISE. The new annex will be the home for more career technical education programs where students will master new skills and become career ready for their professional success beyond graduation. — Check out our progress, see the dashboards, and learn more at detroitk12.org/facilities Click this link to join our mailing list and receive the most recent updates. https://lnkd.in/gVXP3Jix #DPSCD #CareerReady #TheFutureIsRising #DPSCDBrickbyBrick #Southeastern #DPSCDFacilityImprovements

Did You Know that DPSCD is investing over $700 Million in a master plan to drastically improve the conditions of our schools? In 2019, Detroit Public Schools Community District engaged in meaningful conversations with our community regarding the state of our school facilities based on score from a comprehensive facility condition assessment. Through these valuable discussions, we gained insights into the community's priorities for our schools. Today, we are proud to continue this collaborative effort and are executing our 20-year vision for the District's facilities, along with a range of additional investments aimed at making this vision a reality.
