PARENT-TEACHER ASSOCIATION
” (Community League):
Middlewurg, - Virginia,
Jan, 16, 8945,

Mr. 0. L. Emerieck, ‘
Superintendent-of Schools,
Loudoun County, -
Leesburg, Virginia,

Dear Mr, Emerieckg

We, the umdersigned patroms of the P.T.A.(League) of
Grant Sehool of Middleburg, Virginia, heredby respond to your = .
sommunieation as of Desember 13, 1944, a letter addressed to Mrs,
Jame Butler. You have stated thet a Board Meeting was held December
12, 1944, and a resolution was passed authorizing the appointment of
en additional teacher at Middleburg's Colored Sehool amd also the
payment of & reasonable amount for the remtal of & room,

b BN o - We understand a oemmitte;r prgpg:ign to reg::s;::s‘::%
League ), acting as its chairmen, o J0O zer,
E%T%:Z§ neg%i;é. Whngish to advise you that Mr, Wanzer mor any one
of that committee was authorized to act for this P.T.A(League). our
legel adviser, Attorney James E. Reby of Alexandrisa, VYirginia has
communieated with you and please e advised thet he is the only agent
representing this »ody.

.After diseussing your propesal to alleviate the sehool

situation the P.T.A.(League), dy means of majority vote, rejected such
proposal based primarily on tne following factsie

1, The committee which represented the P.T.A.(League) at the Board
Meeting was mot valid, It was mot appointed By the P.T.A, (League),
hence, it could neither express the sentiments of nor make
requests for the P,T.A,(League),

2, Though your condescending resolution might seem at first a fair
gesture, we have discovered that it is far from being sound and
tangivle, for the Board failed in specifieity eoneerning
eonatruc%ion of building, and failed to make appropriations for
the suggested construction, We have based this assumption on the
eontents of your letter, and furthermore on the faet that no
eontgery report has been published, With these faets in mind the
t;mggr::g gieitoftthe extiaterritarial expansion may ®e interpreted
a efinite temporariness, This, of ceourse a
verified »y the following illustratiofin:. T TS

&, The Watsom Mountain Sehool wes started in the Church

temporarily thirty years ago, and the temporariness
‘ become permanent for the een&ition still gxists.es >

b, The Lineoln School, third room, was taught in the Church
for a number of years temperarily and nothing wes dome to
effect a permanence until-it became unneeessary becsuse of
the depletion of students.

Realizing, therefore, the existing faets together with
