This is not to be confused with the deficit that Muskegon Heights Public Schools continues to carry from before it outsourced educational and other services to Mosaica Education in 2012.
Regional VP Alena Zachery-Ross introduced Jeremie Harris, Jr., the Muskegon Heights student who will serve as the board’s new student representative through the end of the 2013-2014 academic year.
“We don’t want the barrier of a uniform, of transportation, to be in the way," said Alena Zachery-Ross, Regional VP for Mosaica Education. "We will work with them to take that barrier away.”
When less than 600 students showed up for class last Monday, the district used its parent liaisons to determine where the missing students were instead of in school, according to Alena Zachery-Ross, regional VP for Mosaica Education.
Following up the uniform discussion, Mosaica Regional VP Alena Zachery-Ross urged parents to enroll or re-enroll their students sooner rather than later.
District educational services operator Mosaica Education has repeatedly stated that a year-round school year will help students retain knowledge that otherwise is lost in a 3-month summer break.
Initial sketches and details regarding a new high school uniform dress code at Muskegon Heights public school academy system were revealed at the district's board meeting Monday night.
Currently, the multi-million dollar debt the school district holds is being slowly serviced by a millage off of non-homestead property values, including businesses and apartments.
The news about finances could have been better if it was not offset by hundreds of thousands of dollars in cost overruns due to needed maintenance on the buildings that the charter operator uses.
