Some area boards pay adviser to cast wide net, others recruit within their district.
Berkley's next school superintendent simply will switch offices at the administration building. In Trenton, a new superintendent also won't move far this spring – just from a school in that system. At least three other Southeast Michigan districts also filled their top jobs internally last year. Lake Orion in northern Oakland and Chippewa Valley in Macomb County had single-candidate appointments, while Grosse Pointe promoted an administrator after a costly national search and bitterly divided board vote. Berkley's sole prospect got the job March 12. There's no one-size style to recruit a public school system's top appointee and no formula to prove what works best. Clawson is paying a Michigan consultant for a wide search expected to last …

Out of nearly 2,000 photos submitted, the grand prize choice wins a Mackinac Island adventure.
Sunsets, family reunions, beaches, city skylines, tubing on lakes, Tiger games, wildlife, Mackinac Island and so much more. Those are among the nearly 2,000 images readers shared over eight weeks of the Your Patch of Michigan photo contest. So it was tough to choose just one grand prize winner from the eight weekly winners, but we did: Beth Potts' snapshot of her new husband, Chris, during their honeymoon canoe trip to Isle Royale in Michigan's Upper Peninsula last summer. "We packed everything into the canoe and he navigated our way along the south shore to Moskey Basin, where we camped overlooking the bay," said Potts, of Grosse Pointe Woods. "We've both traveled internationally and around the U.S., but you don't have to leave Michigan …

The longest-running and largest family festival in Troy returns this week after being on hiatus for a year.
Four days of carnival rides, live music, games, stage shows and a variety of other family-oriented fun will kick off Thursday as the Troy Family Daze Festival returns to the city for the first time since 2009. Started as a volunteer-produced festival in 1968, Troy Daze is the longest-running community celebration of its kind in the city. "In this day and age, with everything so going so fast, it's nicer to throw an old-time festival — like you see in the old movies," said Jim Cyrulewski, vice president of the North Woodward Community Foundation, the new fiscal sponsor of the event. "It's a nice tradition for people to come back to every year." The festival first fell on hard times in 1979, when it failed for the first time and led to a …

What can be done to help Michigan? When Obama stopped in Detroit for his Labor Day speech, Patch talked to Michigan residents about what our national and local leadership can do to foster the state's turnaround.
DETROIT — Thousands of people from throughout Michigan gathered in downtown Detroit Monday afternoon to hear President Obama speak after the annual Labor Day parade. While the president spoke about jobs, labor and the importance of collective bargaining, Patch asked members of the audience to talk about what they would like to see our nation's leaders, as well as those in power locally, do to help the state. Obama teased the crowd about his upcoming speech on jobs, which is planned for Thursday, saying he would propose "ways to put America back to work that both parties would agree to." So what can our leaders in Washington do? Jobs, education: Those were the major themes these Michigan residents echoed. What do you think? Click through …
