Administrators Deal With New Problems As the buses rolled in the fall of 1976, everyone expected that with integration there would be problems. However, Dr. Robert S. Brown and the four assistant principals at Burke had prepared the faculty for the days that stretched aheadg the administration felt that if the students were made to feel that Burke was a good school and that now no matter where in the city they lived, Burke was their school that there would be no problems. Integration did work and the students settled into the routine of the mod system realizing that they were now a part of the student body--an important part. Their were some minor concerns in that not everyone adjusts to the modular program, and in the fall of 1977, the administration decided to modify the program to better meet the needs of the entire student body. Burke would change from a twenty-one mod day to a nine mod day with students having more of a structured schedule. The greatest change, however, was that Dr. Brown was retiring and Dr. Edward Klirna would take his place.
