On February 9, 1931, Laura Cook, a teacher at St. Louis school, wrote a letter to the Loudoun County School Board expressing concerns about the overcrowded conditions of the school. With 71 students in attendance, the lack of space and resources was hindering her ability to give each child the necessary attention. Cook, along with a group of parents and friends of the school, requested an extra room and another teacher for the next school term to alleviate these issues. The letter, signed by a number of concerned individuals, outlined the urgent need for improved conditions at the school and sought approval and support from the school board.

EWP Loudoun County Training Center 001

This text is a petition addressed to the Loudoun County School Board, expressing concern over their plan to purchase land adjacent to the colored high school in Leesburg, Virginia. The petitioners argue that the land is needed for the expansion of the nearby Union Cemetery, which serves as a burial ground for the community. They also point out that only a few colored children attending the high school actually live north of Market Street, where the proposed land is located. The petitioners believe that the location of the land is not suitable for the future needs of the colored children's education, given its remote nature and distance from where the majority of the students reside. Ultimately, they request that the School Board reconsider their decision to purchase the land and prioritize the best interests of the colored youth in the community.

EWP Loudoun County Training Center 001

During the early 20th century, there was significant debate and opposition within Loudoun County, Virginia regarding the School Board's plans to purchase land adjacent to the colored high school in Leesburg. The petitioners argued that the land in question was more suitable for the expansion of the Union Cemetery of Leesburg, which was in need of additional space for burials. They also pointed out that most colored children attending the high school lived south of Market Street, making the proposed location inconvenient for the majority of students. The petitioners urged the School Board not to proceed with the purchase, emphasizing the detrimental impact it would have on both the cemetery and the education of colored youth in the community.

This letter dated May 10, 1932, from the Community League, patrons of the Colored Public School, and taxpayers in Loudoun County, Virginia, to the Board of Education, highlights a call for change in the graded departments of the school. The appeal for improvements in efficiency and other unspecified concerns reflects a desire for a better educational experience for the children attending the school. After thirty years without change, the community league and patrons are advocating for a justifiable plea to appoint teachers that will address their concerns and enhance the learning environment for their children.
