Basic to mo of the recommen-
dation s the conclusi on that the
uskegon Heights Schools contain
programs and personnel which re strong
and committed re pectively. Ho ever;
it . most necessary and apparent that
citiz of Muskegon Heights realize
that in order to implement th recom­
mendatio, hich speak to added
programs, 10 er class size, additional
support staff, ha e staff inservice and
more equipment and materWs, IT LL
REQUIREA E UNDING EFFORT.
obvio y, portion of that effort
will require additional millage well
increa state support. Equal educa-
tional opportunity i not a reality in this
ate when district tax bases are com­
pared and THE DIFFERE CE CO -
T S TO GRO LARGER.
Providing fin ncial tability for the
schoo of the city, which allow for the
employment of needed personnel and
to offer the quality programs recom­
mended, this i the mo riou challenge
f: cing the board of education and com­
munity.
Hopefully, we can go bout the
·ta 'th collective effort which will

It w a good thing done by the
Ci y of uskegon hen egon's
Ci Commi ion agreed to hire a
highly qualified Black woman as
the ne Finance Director for the
city.
Blac American are so anxious
to BEW G that we ccept ges­
tures of fair treatment or friend­
ship with tOQ great of ease.
The uskegon City Commis-
oner have demonstrated an
awarene that all is not ell with
the Blac citizen will continue
to pre on for equitable treat­
ment in all are effecting our
"Quality of life."
The uskegon Chief of Police
ould explain why 10 new police­
men have been hired since the
chief has been in office and not
one w Black. Why· are there no
Black command officer?
Let us hope that e not become
jubilant over the "Black Fi­
nance Director", that we forget
that the fmancial re urces of the
city, county and our local .banks
are yet denied to aspiring mac
busine persons. Let's applaud
appropriate ction but let's pres
on for total economic justice.
