SUMMARY: Two middle schools in Brooklyn, Peeples Middle School and Whitten Middle School, will now operate as separate entities in one building. The internal investigation into a cheating scandal caused 18 vacancies across both schools, prompting them to merge and fill in the gaps. Whitten Middle School will use Peeples' updated space while sharing staff, causing concern among parents about student-teacher ratios and potential confrontations due to school rivalry. Superintendent Errick L. Greene assures that this move is for the advancement of both schools, with a target student-teacher ratio of 18 to 1 for core classes.

SUMMARY: Vacant and abandoned properties in Jackson are causing problems for residents and businesses. City leaders, including Councilman Vernon Hartley, are seeking solutions for demolishing buildings and cleaning up lots. Hartley emphasizes that vacant properties lower home values and harm the quality of life, affecting those who have invested in the city. Although the city lacks sufficient funding, leaders are exploring different funding sources, including federal funds, to tackle this issue. Effective code enforcement is critical, as 60 properties were recently declared public health hazards. Addressing these issues is crucial for retaining residents and businesses in Jackson.
