State Superintendent Claims Detroit Public Schools has Dramatic Teacher Shortage

State Superintendent Claims Detroit Public Schools has Dramatic Teacher Shortage [Michigan Capitol Confidential]:
"In late September, State Superintendent Mike Flanagan said in a press release that there was a “dramatic teacher shortage” causing large classroom sizes in Detroit Public Schools.
Flanagan called on businesses, career professionals and the state Legislature to help.
 A review of the number of teachers relative to the student enrollment in DPS, however, doesn’t paint a picture of a teacher shortage.
 Detroit Public Schools has one classroom teacher for every 16.65 students, a ratio that is a little higher than the state average but lower than higher performing school districts."
