Kalamazoo school hours

View Item Record

Description:

In this installment of the "Kalamazoo school hours," D.J. Heathcote interviews Dr. Loy Norrix, superintendent of Kalamazoo schools, and Russell Dunney, director of research for Kalamazoo schools, about the needs of the Kalamazoo School System and the upcoming overpopulation crisis the schools are facing. The educators discuss the the history of school construction in Kalamazoo since World War I. Norrix says that a new junior high on the city's south side must be completed by 1950 to enable the schools to cope with a surge in enrollment and argues that the city should levy a special tax for school construction rather than float school bonds.
