e
Superintendent of Schools of Norfolk, declared that the maintenance
of a salary schédule which fixes differentials in pay for teachers
and principals of equal qualifications and eZ tzperience, performing
essentially the same duties and services, when these differentials
are based solely on race or color, is in violation of both the
due process and the equal protection clauses of the 14th Amendment
to the Constitution of the United States. On October 28,1940, the
Sunreme Court of the United Stotes deniled the application of the
Norfolk School Board and its Superintendent for a writ of
certiorari to review said decision.
In making this petition petitioners are cognizant that this
unconstitutional salary differential was not initiated by you and
that the case above referred to is the first pronouncement by a
higher Federal Court that such practice is unconstitutional, They
do feel, however, that now since this gquestion has
been adjudicated|,
you will no longer wish to maintain a onractice which not only is
in contravention of our democratic ideals, but which 1s also un-
constitutional; and that you will welcome this opportunity to
change it.
In making this request for a single standard of pay and for the
equaligation of salaries petitioners wish to make it clear that
¥t
is not their ‘desire that this
fact be accomplished by reduction of
the pay of any of ti k inci
nNas a of the teachers, princinals or supervisors employed
by the Loudoun County School Board
Respectfully,
Loudoun County Teachersz Association
