Dearborn Public Schools $1.5B bond request passes overwhelmingly

DEARBORN — Dearborn Public Schools passed a massive $1.5 billion bond Nov. 3 to overhaul its aging infrastructure, paving the way for six new schools to be built, according to unofficial results. According to the Wayne County Election Division, the issue passed with 68% voting yes to 32% voting no, with all precincts in Dearborn reporting data even as others in Wayne County were still outstanding. Superintendent Mike Esseily, who took over the reins of the district in July, called the bond passage a win for the community. "The entire community was behind this plan," Esseily said by phone. "The entire community believed in its vision." The district's previous bond failed narrowly in 2019, sending leaders back to the drawing board for a more comprehensive plan that voters would find more appealing and financially palatable. Esseily said the work paid off. "People were able to see this plan had a lot of thought behind it, it made sense, the numbers matched the work and people were excited," he said. The district plans to rebuild, renovate and update all of its school buildings over the next 20 years with the 30-year bond, which appeared on the ballot as a 3.14-mill request.

Michigan officials contact DOJ about monitors speaking to poll workers

LANSING — Attorneys with the Michigan Attorney General’s Office and Department of State made contact with the Department of Justice Tuesday, Nov. 3, after receiving reports that the department’s monitors were speaking with poll workers in Dearborn and Flint. DOJ monitors are largely limited to observing the voting process, with the precinct captain being their only point of contact at a polling location. But on Tuesday, monitors asked poll workers in Dearborn for copies of their training materials and monitors in Flint asked poll workers for information on how they were trained, said Kim Bush, a spokeswoman for state Attorney General Dana Nessel’s office. When state officials informed the DOJ’s Michigan coordinator about the issue, the coordinator said that was not how they were trained and the monitors would be spoken to directly to correct the situation, Bush said. She noted that the DOJ uses both its own employees and volunteers who are trained to monitor elections across the country. “Those people were then trained because it’s not their area of subject matter expertise,” Bush said of the volunteers. “As with any large group of volunteers, there’s likely going to be some people who make mistakes.” The office will continue
