Foirfox Board Briefed
On Students Custer

Members of the Fairfax
County School Board last night
asked that they be notified OF
any future pupil placement diff
culties like the one that has re-
suited in dismissal of the De-
Febio brothers from county
schools
Meeting for the first time since
the DeFebio case came to light,
board members complained they
knew nothing of the incioent
until they read about it in The
Star a week ago today. One
board member criticized the ad-
ministration's action in dropping
the students.
Nicky DeFebio, 8, was dropped
from the Holm Hall Elementary
School on April II because his
mother, Mrs. Theo T. DeFebio,
refused to sign one of Virginia IS
new pupil placement applica-
tons. Nicky's IA year old
brother Teddy withdrew from
Mount Vernon High School last
Thursday for the same reason.
He had been given until yes
terday to return the application.
but Mrs. DeFebio said she had
no intention of signing it be-
cause she considered the pupil
placement plan part of a scheme
to thwart the Supreme Courts
school desegregation decision.
| Board members got into a
discussion of the DeFebio case
as they prepared to go into
executive session to discuss a
real estate matter.
Aren't we going to get a
report on pupil placement"
