Page 11 of the Gray Commission Report outlines additional measures to support the tuition grant program and resist enforced integration, including state funding for half of the excess costs incurred by localities. It proposes giving local school boards greater financial flexibility to allocate funds for tuition grants, authorizing the employment of legal counsel to defend board members, and expanding the Virginia Supplemental Retirement Act to cover private school teachers affected by segregation policies. The report also recommends granting the Attorney General authority to assist local school boards with legal matters related to segregation, as well as amending various sections of the state code to accommodate the proposed changes.
