New recovery district in Michigan says its Detroit schools will open on time

From The Detroit News: The head of a new statewide recovery district in Michigan is vowing that its 15 schools in Detroit will open on time next month, despite a vote by the city's school board to take the buildings back. The chancellor of the Education Achievement Authority, John Covington, says the school board lacks the authority to pull out of the new system for failing schools, as members have voted to do.
