Prince Edward County Defends School Operation Stand
Richmond AP The Prince Edward County supervisors denied Virginia law requires county schools in a response to an amended complaint in the county school desegregation case filed in Federal District Court. They argue neither the Supreme Court nor the Fourth Circuit has ruled a county must run schools and say tax decisions are not tied to recent General Assembly legislation. The case involves Negro plaintiffs seeking an injunction to force operation of schools and contest tuition grants amid the county’s 1959 school closure following desegregation orders.
