Virginia Education Chief Sidesteps Comment on Amendment

He said it would be inappropriate to speak on new procedures while the Supreme Court decision on school desegregation remains in force. Howard stressed his role as administrator, with policy decisions to be made by the State Board of Education and Legislature, and noted staff is reviewing suggested procedures.
