The Case for New Detroit Public School Board Members - ELECT 3 for DPSCD by Nov 3.

On July 31st, 2020  the Detroit City Council Airport Taskforce gave a presentation hosted by Councilmember Scott Benson. 

At that meeting Mayor Mike Duggan released his plan to reduce the airport by removing runway 25 from the grounds to build a factory. He also said that the Federal Aviation Administration and MDOT offered a 95 to 1 ratio of funding to cities and schools for the purposes of development as a matter of fact. All they require is a plan. With a sound business plan, the airline industry will return to normal and, new air carriers will offer services at the airport with flights, creating jobs. 

The rumor of expanding City Airport will shut down Metro Airport will be rendered null and void. Instead it will be a partnership with a new Wayne County Airport Authority that includes Wayne County Community College and, DPSCD. By electing Detroit Public School board members with a vison, this money will allow for the development of a Wayne County Regional Airport partnership with Detroit Public Schools. 

Homeowners will be paid to relocate and paid well. Especially the all the property between Van Dyke and Conner including the church on French Road because they will be sacrificing their property for a new dual purpose runway for training education and General aviation. Commercial  airlines will have a longer runway that extends from McNichols (6 mile) to Gratiot for their and, a new tunnel under McNichols using allocated FAA and USDOT funding programs.  For every one dollar that the City of Detroit and, Detroit Public Schools invest into the airport grounds, the federal government will match it with 95 dollars to help complete the project. 

Interested airline carriers such as Delta, Jet Blue and a host of others have often indicated support for this effort because of the need for people in the aviation industry. Surveys were performed by previous city councilmembers demonstrated the benefit of investment into City Airport with city pension funds instead of a pipeline from Lake Huron to Flint. If the management from Lansing would have taken the proper actions, the people would have realized a 95 to one return on their investment. Because of poor decisions made, the Detroit Public School district lost jobs and revenue from landing fees from missing air traffic.   

The expansion of  Benjamin O. Davis HS will include internship programs in fighting fires at an airport with the Detroit Fire Department. This will take away the excuse given by Mayor Duggan that certain pilots will not land in Detroit because there are no fire trucks on site with proper equipment.  With a better plan presented to MDOT and FAA, all of this can be accomplished quickly.  

Finally, the current board does not reflect the history and legacy of the Detroit Public Schools. Jared Finney, Dr. Ethelene Crockett should have never been removed from the system. To repair the damage of years from emergency mismanagement upon our schools, this entire board must be replaced with people who have a vested interest in the future and direction of DPS. Retired Teachers and State Representatives with education backgrounds, along with technology professionals educated in the Detroit Public School system belong on school boards.

  

Elect Richard C. Clement to the Detroit Public School Board Community District on or before 8pm Nov 3rd, 2020.

Richard Clement Sr is on the ballot for Detroit School Board Candidate Vote by Nov. 3rd 2020

My name is Richard Clement and, I am a candidate for the Detroit Public School Board. I am running to promote education that will improve the quality of life in our City, State, nation, and the world. The man that freed the weed will help the children read because, reading is essential to everything in life. This includes reading the instructions on how to use Siri and, using a computer.  If you support change for the sake of our future, you must elect people who have our best interest at heart.   

 

Retired NHL Legend Darren McCarthy and
Richard Clement.

I feel that DPS has always been the best when it came to serving the community. The district was damaged from mismanagement from Lansing and, the best way to fix it is from the top down.  On or before November 3rd, voters have a chance to elect the best 3 candidates and, recall the other four board members for not representing the will of the people.

I am a graduate of the Detroit Public Schools attending Pasteur Elementary, White Elementary, Hampton Jr. High and Mumford HS where I excelled in music and sports. Although the grades that I earned were not the top of the class, I graduated anyway and was determined to give back to my community by furthering my education past high school.

I am a graduate of Alabama State University where I majored in Computer Information Systems and a member of the Marching band. I also have experience in state and local governments in Lansing and Detroit as an information technology employee. I am currently retired from Teaching at Lansing Community College, Lansing School District, Hamtramck,  was fortunate enough to work for 11 years as a guest teacher.

While serving as a board member of Black Data Processing Associates (1990-1997), I was responsible for training disadvantaged youth on computer skills that competed and scored well in national competition with others in their age group. These students went on to be great mothers, fathers, and professionals in medicine and information technology.

I served on the boards of the Michigan Chapter of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana laws and various start up canna-businesses in Michigan. From 2014 to 2017, I worked as a legislative aide to Council-member Pro-Tempore George Cushingberry Jr advising on education and marijuana reform in Detroit. During my tenure on the Michigan NORML board of directors, marijuana was decriminalized for medical and recreational use saving the taxpayers millions of dollars in fess on legal system and generating jobs at the same time. The marijuana industry was one of few departments in State Government to show a profit. Fees were reduced because the program generated too much money at one time.
