Is the obvious answer (always) money? Is a school system with fewer than 1300 students viable? You don't have to recall the Conant report to wonder whether a larger, consolidated system would work better. Clearly money would help here, might help somewhat in the short run, but hard to see it as a solution
The fact seems to be that Benton Harbor wants to maintain an identity of its own...maybe not wise but other mostly Black schoolds seem to feel that way.
