Public Health Intervention
The environment conditions in Detroit public schools are dilapidated beyond measures. They pose higher health risks to both the teachers and the pupils, thus necessitated actions that will address the issue to the concerned body. The public health interventions include the adoption of either the programs, campaigns, or policies that restore public health across Detroit.
Resources mobilization is the first course of action that can be done to restore the poor state of Detroit schools. Collective efforts by a network of individuals, groups, and institutions under the strict observance of rules may undertake collaborative actions to restore the infrastructures (Isbell & Lynne Isbell, 1-5). This may include a contribution of money, sourcing for donations, grants, and create a large pool of money and resources such as paints, tiles, and other materials. The funds will then be used to restore the infrastructures across the schools in Detroit.
The next effective action of Detroit citizens is through direct efforts to fix poor infrastructure. People with different skills across Detroit should provide their services free of charge. This includes an individual with masonry skills to repair floors, those with painting skills to do the painting, carpenters fix the ceiling, electricians do proper wiring. People without any skills may as well provide their labor input and collectively restore the infrastructures in public schools across Detroit. Upon restoring the infrastructures across public schools in Detroit, volunteer teachers, and security guards to offer their services. The Michigan Research Council estimates that Detroit schools have deficits of teachers, and guards have been released without notice. The overall performance in Detroit schools is alarmingly poor. The voluntary actions will indeed restore the dignities of public schools in Detroit.
