A new superintendent, a long list of expectations for Michigan schools

Michigan’s new State Superintendent of Public Instruction, Dr. Glenn Maleyko, steps into the job as schools face uneven academic recovery, high absenteeism, and growing demands beyond the classroom.

Maleyko joined The Metro's Robyn Vincent to discuss his early priorities, particularly literacy, and how he plans to lead a system being asked to do more than it was designed to handle.

"The Metro" covers local and regional news and current affairs, arts and cultural events and topics, with a commitment to airing perspectives and uncovering stories underreported by mainstream media in Detroit.
