TIM AND WE ARE ALSO FOLLOWING
BREAKING NEWS. FROM DOWN SOUTH
IN GEORGIA, WHERE WE HAVE A
WINNER TONIGHT IN THE SENATE
RUNOFF THERE WITH MORE THAN 97
OF THE VOTE IN NBC NEWS,
PROJECTING THE DEMOCRATS SENATOR
RAFAEL WARNOCK WILL DEFEAT THE
REPUBLICAN CHALLENGER, HERSCHEL
WALKER, THAT WILL GIVE THE
DEMOCRATS 51 SEATS IN THE U. S
SENATE. THIS WAS ERASED THE
ENTIRE COUNTRY WAS WATCHING. IT
IS ANOTHER BLOW TO FORMER
PRESIDENT TRUMP WOULD ENDORSE
WALKER AND CAMPAIGNED FOR HIM
AGAIN. THE PROJECTION TONIGHT.
RAPHAEL WARNOCK WILL KEEP HIS
SEAT IN THE SENATE. OUR OTHER
TOP STORY, THE CITY OF EAST
POINT, REJECTING A PROPOSAL THAT
WOULD HAVE HELD PARENTS
RESPONSIBLE WHEN IT COMES TO
FALL SCHOOL THREATS. JACQUELINE
FRANCIS’S LIVE IN EAST POINT AND
JACQUELINE. THIS WAS A PROPOSAL
HEAVILY BACKED BY POLICE IN THAT
COMMUNITY. IT WAS. THIS IS
SOMETHING THE POLICE CHIEF WAS
REALLY PULLING FOR, AS HE SAID
HIS ENTIRE DETECTIVE STAFF HAS
BEEN TIED UP AT ONE POINT OR
ANOTHER BECAUSE OF THESE FALSE
THREATS, BUT NOT ALL IS LOST AS
HE PLANS TO REINTRODUCE THE
ORDINANCE IN THE NEAR FUTURE.
COUNCILOR BAKER. YES, MCCURLEY.
YES MONICA? NO. HOTEL LUCY DOWN
TO VOTE, THE ORDINANCE THAT
WOULD HOLD PARENTS FINANCIALLY
RESPONSIBLE FOR KIDS MAKING
FALSE THREATS FAILED. IT COMES
AFTER THE EAST POINT POLICE
DEPARTMENT HAS BEEN INUNDATED
WITH INVESTIGATING THESE BOGUS
CLAIMS. EMPTY THREATS OFTEN MADE
BY STUDENTS TRYING TO GET OUT OF
SCHOOL, INTRODUCED LAST MONTH.
PROPOSED ORDINANCE WOULD HAVE
CHARGED PARENTS THE POLICE
DEPARTMENTS COST IN SUCH
SITUATIONS. IT WOULD ALSO APPLY
TO OFFENSES LIKE PULLING A FIRE
ALARM OR DRAG RACING. THE
COUNCIL MEMBERS OPPOSED HAD
THEIR REASONS DISORGANIZED. IT’S
JUST A LITTLE TOO MUCH IN THE
LAST THING I WANT IS FOR ANYONE
TO EVER HAVE, LIKE THE FEAR OF
GETTING A BILL CALLING EMERGENCY
OR NON EMERGENCY NUMBERS. I KNOW
SOMETIMES YOU KNOW, PEOPLE ABUSE
IT AND THINGS LIKE THAT, BUT, UM
, YOU KNOW, OUR RESIDENTS DO
PLAY TAXES FOR THOSE SERVICES.
WHEN WE SHOULD BE PROVIDING
THEM. THE POLICE CHIEF
DISAPPOINTED BY THE DECISION
AFTER EXPLAINING THE COUNCIL
JUST HOW MUCH MANPOWER THESE
INVESTIGATIONS REQUIRE WHEN
SOMEONE’S MAKING A FALSE BOMB
THREAT OR APOLOGY, ATTEMPTING TO
SHOOT UP THE SCHOOL OR BLOW UP
THE SCHOOL THAT DEPLOYS OUR
ENTIRE DETECTIVE BUREAU AND ALL
OUR OFFICER FOR SEVERAL HOURS,
EVEN FOR DAYS. SO THAT’S WHAT WE
WANT TO DO THIS HOLD PEOPLE
ACCOUNTABLE. IF THE MAYOR HAD
BEEN AT TONIGHT’S MEETING, THE
POLICE CHIEF BELIEVES SHE WOULD
HAVE BEEN THE TIEBREAKING VOTE,
ALLOWING THE ORDINANCE TO PASS.
FOR THAT REASON HE PLANS TO PUT
THE ORDINANCE BEFORE COUNCIL
AGAIN IN THE COMING WEEKS.
REPORTING LIVE IN EAST POINT,
JACQUELINE FRANCIS LOCAL 4
JACQUELINE. MEANWHILE, IN FRASER
, A 15 YEAR OLD BOY IS CHARGED
WITH MAKING A FALSE BOMB THREAT
. PROSECUTORS SAY THE TEAM
THREATENED TO BLOW UP FRASER
HIGH SCHOOL. FOLLOWING A VERBAL
ALTERCATION WITH HIS PRINCIPAL.
HE’S NOW BEING CHARGED WITH THE
THREAT OF TERRORISM AND
RESISTING AND OBSTRUCTING DURING
HIS PRELIMINARY HEARING. TODAY’S
BOND WAS DENIED, AND THE COURT
HAS ORDERED A MENTAL HEALTH
EVALUATION. BASING AN ONGOING
SHORTAGE OF TEACHERS DOZENS OF
SCHOOL DISTRICTS ACROSS THE
STATE, LAUNCHING A NEW PROGRAM
THAT WOULD MAKE IT EASIER TO BE
AN EDUCATOR IN MICHIGAN, VICTOR
WILLIAMS LIVE TONIGHT WITH HOW
THIS NEW PROGRAM WOULD WORK,
VICTOR YES. DEVIN ELEMENTARY
SCHOOL WITH DPS CD, A SCHOOL
THAT ALSO FALLS UNDERNEATH THE
UMBRELLA OF THE WAYNE RESA
INTERMEDIATE DISTRICT. THAT
DISTRICT ALONG WITH SEVERAL
OTHERS HAVE NOW CREATED THE
LARGEST EDUCATIONAL PARTNERSHIP
RIGHT HERE IN THE STATE OF
MICHIGAN. TOGETHER THEY HAVE ALL
REALIZED THAT IT’S GOING TO
REALLY TAKE MORE TO ATTRACT. AND
KEEP TEACHERS AROUND. WHEN I WAS
IN THE CLASSROOMS. MAYBE WE HAVE
ABOUT 30 32 IN THE CLASSROOM.
TIFFANY BONDED SAYS SHE FEELS
THERE’S ALWAYS BEEN A LACK OF
TEACHERS IN MICHIGAN, BUT HER
SIXTH GRADE SON, CARTER’S
GENERATION IS REALLY FILLING IT
. DIFFERENCE WITH HIS SCHOOL IS
THEY ARE SEPARATING A AND B DAY
, SO IT’S NOT AS MANY IN THE
CLASSROOM ACCORDING TO THE
INITIATIVE, ENROLLMENT INTO
TEACHING PROGRAMS ARE DOWN BY
66% EDUCATOR SHORTAGE CRISIS IN
MICHIGAN IS AMONG THE WORST IN
THE COUNTRY AND RESPONDS 39
INTERMEDIATE. AT SCHOOL
DISTRICTS AND REGIONAL
EDUCATIONAL AGENCIES SERVING 63
COUNTIES ARE COMING TOGETHER. TO
CREATE A PROGRAM CALLED TALENT
TOGETHER TODAY, THEY ALL JOINED
EACH OTHER VIRTUALLY TO MAKE THE
ANNOUNCEMENT. WAYNE REESE’S
SUPERINTENDENT, EVITA, COLBERT,
SAYS THE GOAL IS TO INCREASE THE
NUMBER OF TEACHERS GOING INTO
THE PIPELINE STATEWIDE. WE’RE
LOOKING AT WAYS FOR THIS TO BE,
UM, A LITTLE DIFFERENT, NOT WHAT
THE TRADITIONAL PROGRAMMING
WOULD LOOK LIKE IF AN INDIVIDUAL
WENT THROUGH A FOUR OR FIVE YEAR
EDUCATION PROGRAM WITH OVER A
MILLION COMBINED CHILDREN BEING
SERVED, THE HOPE IS THAT THE NEW
PARTNERSHIP WILL ATTRACT NEW
TEACHERS WITH THE NEW TRAINING
MODEL THAT WILL GET THOSE WHO
QUALIFY INSIDE THE CLASSROOM
QUICKER THAN EVER. PART OF OUR
GOAL IS TO INCREASE THE
RETENTION OF THESE NEW TEACHERS
COMING INTO THE FIELD AND ALSO
OUR EXPERIENCED EDUCATORS IN
CLASSROOMS TODAY. OTHER
INCENTIVES INCLUDE MORE CAREER
ADVANCEMENT, OPPORTUNITIES FOR
EXISTING EDUCATORS AND MORE
COMPETITIVE PAY TO DRAW DIVERSE
CANDIDATES TO SCHOOLS. AND BOTH
RULE AND URBAN AREAS. YOU MAY
HAVE ALWAYS WANTED TO BECOME A
TEACHER, BUT YOU CAN’T QUIT YOUR
JOB AND GO BACK TO SCHOOL TO
BECOME A TEACHER. WE HAVE A
SOLUTION FOR YOU DEFINITELY
STARTS WITH THAT. BUT YOU CAN’T
REALLY PUT A DOLLAR ON THAT. AND
THE PROGRAM IS IN THE VERY EARLY
STAGES OF DEVELOPMENT. BUT WE’RE
TOLD THAT ENROLLMENT COULD
HAPPEN AS SOON AS FULL 2023
VICTOR WILLIAMS LOCAL 4 OKAY,
VICTOR. ANOTHER OUTBURST TODAY
FROM THE MAN CHARGED WITH MAKING
AN ANTI SEMITIC RANT OUTSIDE IN
OAKLAND COUNTY TEMPLE. SHAKUR IS
ACCUSED OF THREATENING
PRESCHOOLERS AND THEIR PARENTS
IN FRONT OF TEMPLE BETH EL IN
BLOOMFIELD TOWNSHIP FRIDAY. HE
WENT FOR A JUDGE YESTERDAY. YOU
MAY HAVE SEEN THAT THAT WAS AN
ETHNIC INTIMIDATION CHARGES GAVE
THE JUDGE THE MIDDLE FINGER IN
THE PROCESS IN COURT TODAY, AND
WAYNE COUNTY FOR AN EMERGENCY
BOND HEARING ON A SEPARATE
CHARGE OF ASSAULT THAT GOES BACK
TO 2020 AS THE JUDGE WAS
REVOKING HIS BOND FOR THAT JOKE,
OR MOON TO THE COURT. HOW HE HAS
REMOVED HIS PANTS. TO SHOW THE
COURT HIS BACKSIDE UNDERSTANDING
HIS BOND WAS SET AT A MILLION
DOLLARS IN OAKLAND COUNTY. I
DON’T KNOW IF HE CAN MAKE THAT,
UM, BUT IN THE EVENT THAT HE
DOES, HE’S GONNA BE REMANDED,
AND THEN HE COULD BE RIGHT HERE
AND THEN I’LL SEE A FEW. HE
PULLS HIS PANTS DOWN IN THE
COURTROOM. SHAKUR IS STILL IN
JAIL IN OAKLAND COUNTY. SO IF HE
POSTS BOND IN THE TEMPLE BETH EL
INCIDENT THERE, IT WOULD SIMPLY
MEAN HE WOULD BE SENT RIGHT TO
THE WAYNE COUNTY JAIL MEASURE.
DETROIT TRAVELER LOOKING FOR
ANSWERS AFTER HIS SUV WAS LEFT
ON BLOCKS AT DETROIT METRO
AIRPORT, JOE HOBICA RECORDED
VIDEO OF HOW HE FOUND HIS NEW
JEEP WAGONEER INSIDE THE BIG
BLUE DECK PARKING STRUCTURE LAST
WEEK. HE SAYS THE 22 INCH WHEELS
ON THE SUV WAS STOLEN. THERE’S
ALSO DAMAGE FROM THE SUV SITTING
ON THE BLOCKS FOR SO LONG.
POLICE SAY, THERE ARE CAMERAS
AND THERE IS SECURITY IN THE
PARKING STRUCTURE. BUT JOE TELLS
LOCAL 4 INVESTIGATORS HAVE ZERO
LEADS. AT THIS POINT. IT’S KIND
OF DISAPPOINTING SO FAR. THEY’VE
GOTTEN BACK WITH ME, AND THEY
SAID THAT THEY’VE GONE THROUGH
HOURS AND HOURS OF FOOTAGE. YOU
KNOW, PEOPLE COMING AND GOING
OUT OF THE GARAGE, BUT THEY
REALLY HAVE NO LEADS AND AS FAR
AS CAMERAS INSIDE THE GARAGE, IT
SEEMS TO BE QUITE A LACK OF
CAMERAS BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO
FOOTAGE WHATSOEVER. AIRPORT
OFFICIALS SAY SECURITY TEAMS
HAVE ADDED PATROLS. THEY’RE ALSO
LOOKING INTO EXPANDING CAMERA
COVERAGE AT THE BIG BLUE DECK
AND THE MCNAMARA TERMINAL
PARKING DECK AS WELL. TONIGHT
