Michigan Supreme Court rejects challenge to appointment of Detroit school manager
April 18, 2012
Judges say challenge is moot because Roy Roberts has been reappointed district emergency manager
From The Detroit News: The Michigan Supreme Court has denied an appeal challenging the legality of the appointment of Roy Roberts, emergency manager for Detroit Public Schools. Robert Davis, an activist and Highland Park School Board member, filed a lawsuit last year contending that Roberts violated the state constitution by not taking an oath until four months after taking the job. The Supreme Court says the claim was moot because Roberts was reappointed to serve another year in the same capacity and took the oath on April 2.
