Virginia Court Says State Not Obligated To Run Prince Edward Schools
The Virginia Supreme Court, in a ruling opposed by Chief Justice Eggleston, held the state not legally bound to operate public schools in Prince Edward County, which have been closed since 1959. The decision, tied to broader questions before the U.S. Supreme Court, accepts that school operation is optional for the county, while noting the controversial nature of desegregation. The county has relied on private schooling for white students and a privately funded free school for Black students, a plan urged by Kennedy and supported by local leaders. If a resolution is not reached by Aug. 31, officials warn all children may lose schools again next year.
