We are saddened to learn of the passing of Damon Keith, the legendary federal court judge. A 1939 graduate of Detroit Northwestern High School, he was a champion for public education and in 1971 ruled that Pontiac schools should be racially integrated. A Detroit elementary school was named in his honor in 1974. We lift up a prayer for his family in their hour of need.

Dear CTA Members,
WE WON FOR YOU! A recommended order was issued on the DPLC Unfair Labor Practice (ULP) charge that CTA filed against the District on November 28, 3018. I am thrilled to announce that the hearing officer ruled overwhelmingly in favor of CTA! Please read the entire recommendation at this link.
The recommendation from the hearing officer is as follows:
Don't forget that tonight is the A&R Convention at the A&R Office (805 Brook St, Rocky Hill)
The scholarships will be awarded starting at 4:30.
The business meeting will begin at 6:00pm (ID required).
The results of the election were clear as all measures passed overwhelmingly
