MR, CHAIRMAN, LADIES AND GENTLENEN:
WHEREAS„ the Human Resources Committee has referred to this
Committee the matter of emergency clothing f or school children; and
WHEREAS, the emergency clothing program is not uniform through-
out the State, as many counties are not assuming equal responsibility;
and

amount of S22.00 per school child, did not appear to be sufficient;
and
WHEREAS. Oakland County, in 1969, provided approximately $30.00
Der school child for a total of 4,406 children; and

children in excess of 10,000 in this County requiring emergency
c,ehool clothing; and
WHEREAS, this is not a State matching item;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED the Oakland County Department of
Social Services Board recommends that the State of Michigan provide
the school clothing state-wide in order to ensure equal clothing

mends that the State of Michigan include a monthly allowance adequate
to provide all children of ADC recipients clothing on an equal basis.
