Muskegon saves jobs by dipping into savings
"That draw could have been significantly less -- about $350,000 -- if the board chose to eliminate the five jobs, which include a teacher and aide in a specialized kindergarten program for struggling students, a science para-professional who helps teachers throughout the district prepare science lessons and 'student specialists' who work on behavior and other students issues at McLaughlin Elementary and Steele Middle School.
'The area is so depressed, we need to try to save those jobs,' said board Treasurer Billie Bruce. 'Those are people who live in the city, pay taxes and have children in the district.'"
