Victor D. Robinson for School Board

“I AM D.P.S!!!”  As a product of Detroit Public Schools from K-12th grade, I’ve always took pride in the quality of education accessible in our school district.  Afforded the opportunity to go to college and graduate undergrad in 4 years, coupled with traveling the country in a youth development capacity, I’ve gained a driving passion to improve the quality of education for the youth of Detroit!  While we still produce some of the most talented and brightest young minds in the world, far too many young people are underserved in regards to a quality education and an ideal safe and supportive learning environment.  Although we have gone through some rough patches over recent years financially and academically, I’m certain with this shift to a locally operated school board, that we can get the Detroit Public Schools Community District on par with the best school districts nationwide!

If elected for one of the seven seats on the Detroit School Board this November, I plan to advocate for a myriad of key issues, with our youth being at the forefront of every decision I make.  A couple significant things I will advocate for with our youth and the school board are elite wrap-around services and a more well-rounded academic curriculum at all Detroit Public Schools.  In pushing those fundamental improvements, I bring innovative thought leadership and ideals to lead our youth, our school system and board ethos in the right direction moving forward!  Being a DPS graduate, youth advocate, and grassroots grant maker for youth oriented projects throughout the city, I have a burning passion to see our youth succeed!  I would like to join the Community School District Board to see that our youth have the best opportunity to be successful during the matriculation through grade school and post-graduation.  With a well-rounded curriculum and a plethora of safe and supportive after school enrichment opportunities, our youth can compete nationally in academic achievement.  Implement such fundamental improvements will also allow our students to obtain valuable exposure to all educational and career options that exist.  I truly care about our young people and I bring a very high level of integrity, commensurate with a position of this stature that will ultimately decide the quality of our school system moving forward.  If elected to serve on the Community District School Board, I’ll exercise proven leadership, innovative youth development ideals, and an insatiable passion for seeing our young people succeed!
