- 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.
