Title

DUPLICATE EWP 2-5A 1931 Petition St. Louis School addressing needs of the school

Description

This letter of request, written by Laura Cook and signed by petitioning parents, advocates for improvements at St. Louis School in Middleburg, Virginia. The petitioners highlight severe overcrowding, with 71 students currently enrolled and more expected in the next school term. They describe unsanitary conditions, including three students sharing a single desk, and stress the urgent need for expanded facilities. Specifically, they request an additional classroom and a primary school teacher for the upcoming term, emphasizing that these measures are "absolutely necessary." The letter is addressed to the Loudoun County School Board, urging them to take action. Additionally, the document references a teacher’s report containing supporting data, though this report is not available in the current records.
