So Fleming Academy/Elementary and Osborne High School had a large Hmong population
Fleming's boundaries were:

Now Fleming's former area is served by Scott Elementary - The parkland is not in the Scott zone but everything else that was the Fleming zone is now the Scott K-8 elementary zone
* 2012: http://detroitk12.org/schools/docs/school_boundaries_elementary.pdf

The reason I'm archiving these is to:
* Get records of old attendance zones
* Get documents in other languages so people who are not sure what words to use when translating things have references available. For example if people trying to translate this article ask "what is "charter school" in Bengali/Hmong/Romanian/etc" they will get an answer. - The Bengali school closing article also has names of some schools in Bengali

message: I removed the "Teacher Relations" subsection. It was written as current information, but every item in it was more than 10 years old, and one reference to financial matters was 12 years old. Since then the district has gone through seven years of a State appointed financial manager, starting in 2009, who has changed everything mentioned in the removed subsection. Just last month there were law suits in court about teachers striking, which is against the law, by calling in sick in a coordinated fashion, and this removed subsection had no mention of that. In fact it was obvious that no one had updated it in eight years. Right now the District is under an Outside Financial Manager, who will leave ten days from this writing.
