It's time to take a look back at the stories making headlines this week in the 69 News week in review.

On Tuesday, a new study was released saying real estate agents in Allentown are treating potential customers differently based on their race.

It was done by the Fair Housing Council of Suburban Philadelphia.

The study showed white buyers were getting shown different properties than minority ones.

Dozens of people posed as buyers with equal financial and employment information.  But the study showed white buyers were steered to the West End of Allentown or outside the city, while Black and Hispanic buyers were shown properties in other sections of Allentown.

It shows only one of 33 agents treated all buyers equally.

Mayor Ed Pawlowski said if this continues, agents will face federal charges.

On Wednesday night, the Reading School Board approved a budget that eliminates more than 100 teaching jobs.

The board voted five to four in favor of the budget.

It also cuts more than 100 other staff positions, closes several schools, and raises property taxes.

The board was faced with a 42-million dollar budget gap.

The teachers union said students will suffer because of the layoffs.  Parents were also worried about student safety due to overcrowding because of the closing of the schools.
