Desegregation plan in doubt for Proviso District 209
The Illinois Office of Education requires a desegregation plan by Christmas with district 209 to defend its proposal before the full board as no interim plans are set. As of last March Proviso East and West had 2,430 minority students about 31 percent district total while East was 60 percent minority and West had 146 minorities. State guidelines demand minority shares between 15 and 45 percent at each school.

Assessment impact unclear for Forest Park schools
District 91 Superintendent Arthur Jones and Proviso High School Superintendent Charles Holt declined to forecast how Cook County's new property tax assessment plan will affect their districts. The plan cuts the assessment rate from 22 percent to 17 percent for small multiunit homes, but takes effect after Forest Park's 1977 reassessment, leaving officials to wait and see if funding for schools declines or remains stable. Holt says Proviso High Schools are in solid financial shape with no deficit and no warrants.
