Will more students flee Detroit?

The Detriot News reports:

Detroit Public Schools officials fear the teacher strike that began Monday may exacerbate budget problems in the district, which already is projecting a 9,300-student decline this school year after last year's loss of nearly 11,000.

Knee-deep in debt, the district can't afford to lose more students to charter schools and neighboring districts, which costs Detroit about $7,450 per student in state funding.
