EWP 2-5A 1940 Survey highlight of 1920s-1930s in Loudoun County, Virginia This late 1930s survey report on school consolidation and transportation in Loudoun County, Virginia, examines the closure of one- and two-room schools, the shift to larger institutions, and the financial and logistical impacts of these changes. Conducted during the Great Depression, it highlights rising transportation costs, community resistance, and debates over high school education, particularly concerns that schools focused too much on college prep while neglecting practical life skills. The report also acknowledges racial disparities, noting Black communities’ demands for improved high school facilities and transportation in Willisville and Middleburg, Virginia. -
