The Metropolitan Detroit Bureau of School Studies, Inc., established in 1946, is a non-profit voluntary organization of public school systems, community colleges and universities, and business partners in Southeastern Michigan. The governing body of the Metro Bureau is the Board of Directors, composed of chief administrators from a representative group of 63 member organizations. The Board of Dire
ctors is charged with oversight of the general business of the Bureau including the appointment of an Executive Director who serves as the chief executive officer of the Metro Bureau and President of the Metro Bureau Services and Metro Bureau School Services subsidiaries. Four board members are elected to serve two-year terms as officers. The duties of the officers are those implied by the titles of President, Vice-President, Secretary, and Treasurer. Much of the Bureau’s work is carried out through the flexible committee structures of the Council of Chief Negotiators (CCN) and the Council of Academic Leadership (CAL). These two working committees have led to a wide range of activities with increasing interest in the interaction between the study of curriculum and instructional leadership with the field of human resources. The Metro Bureau conducts major professional seminars that are well-attended by Bureau members and school leaders from other parts of Michigan.
