Title
EWP 2-5A Petition St. Louis School- Overcrowding Feb 1931
Description
This document is a petition expressing concern for severe overcrowding at the St. Louis School. On February 9, 1931, Laura Cook, a teacher at the school, wrote to the Loudoun County School Board describing how the enrollment of 71 students was hindering her ability to give each child adequate attention. The letter, co-signed by parents and community members, requested an additional classroom and a second teacher for the next school term. The petitioners urged the school board to approve and support these measures to improve learning conditions. The document indicates that a teacher report was attached; however, it is not included with the scanned copy.
