Why is a scholarship plan necessary?
The Commission believes that the people of Virginia want to preserve the
educational opportunities of our children as far as possible. Many peo-
ple have stated that they will not send their children to integrated
schools. The Commission believes that no child should be required to
attend an integrated school. If children who will not attend an inte=
grated school are to get an education some means must be provided where-
by they can do so.
Will the State Board of Education lose its authority to maintain school
standards?
No. The State Board of Education will continue its functions in the fu-
ture just as it has in the paste. Under present law, private schools may
be accredited by the State Board if they meet the prescribed standards.
Will teachers in private non-sectarian schools be within the provisions
of the Virginia Supplemental Retirement Act? -
Yes. The Commission specifically recommends that the provisions of the
Act be broadened to provide for the retirement of teachers in private
schools organized after the effective date of the enactment of legisla-
tion recommended by the Reporte ‘
Will private mition grants such as are contemplated by the Commission
open up "endless opportunities for fraud"?
No. Proper safeguards will be adoptede Illustrations of protection a-
gainst fraud in this type of grant may be found in Unemployment Compensa-
tion and the G. I. Bill of Rights.
Is the State prepared to pay additional costs involved in maintaining a
dual school system (public and private)?
The recommendations of the Gray Report do not contemplate a dual system
of public and private schools. Moreover, no State appropriations will be
made to private schools. Tuition grants will be made to parents only un-
What would be the additional cost to the State in assuming part of tuition
cosLs of students already enrolled in Virginia private schools?
None. Students already enrolled in Virginia private schools will not be
eligible for tuition grants. Such a student entering the public school
system for the express purpose of obtaining an educational grant would
be acting in bad faith and would not be eligible.
Will anyone be responsible for checking on how tuition grants are expended?
It will be the responsibility of the local school board to make tuition
payments and to see that such payments are properly expended just as it
is now the responsibility of the school board to see that all school funds
are properly expended. :
