Local Budgets,
Appropriations

1t is recommended that a
number Of changes be made in
the existing. laws relating to
local budgets, tax levies, APP
preparations, and school funds
so as to give the tax levying
body Of each county, city, or
town full control over local ex-
penditures.
1t is now required, with the
exception of certain specific To-
calities, that the local tax levy
must be fixed not later than
the last day of May. It is rec
commended that this be changed
to permit any locality to fix its
annual levy as late as the last
day of June. Three bills to
carry out these recommended
changes are included In the APP
pendix to this report.
There is no State or Federal
constitutional requirement that
a county, city. or town raise or
appropriate any money for pub
lie schools. The elected repre-
sentatives of the people of any
locality should be able to con-
troll and manage their local
affairs in keeping with the
wishes Of the people. The Con-
stitution Of Virginia gives each

Surplus Property

Broad statutory provisions
exist empowering local school
boards to sell school property
with all sales to be approved
by the local court of record.
These provisions, first enacted
in 1887, are found in Sections
22-161 and 1862 of the Code
of Virginia. These two statutes
should not be changed.
The problem Of disposal Of
school property will differ in
each locality and with each
parcel of property. Local
school boards and courts can
make realistic determinations
as to when specific parcels Of
school property should be sold.
The Commission recon-
mends the passage of an addi-
tional act which would permit
the qualified voters to petition
the court Of record for their
county, city, or town to order
a referendum to be held to
determine If the specific school
property or properties, person.
al, real, or both, is any longer
needed for public purposes.
If a majority of the voters
voting in such referendum find
that a specific parcel of prop
erty is no longer needed, the
property shall be sold by the
school board under the appli-
cable provision of law. A bill
to carry out this recommends
ton is included in the appendix
to this report.

No Force
Attendance

Under these recommends
tions no child will be forced
to attend a racially mixed
school.
We believe that under pres
ent conditions these proposals
will produce results more ac-
ceptable to the people Of Wiz
ginia than abolition of all pub
lie schools. If not, and If the
people then demand the aboli-
ton of all public schools, the
people themselves can decide
that issue at that time.
Despite the widespread be-
lief to the contrary, the repeal
BY itself Of Section 100 Of the
Constitution of Virginia would
accomplish nothing that cannot
be accomplished by statute.
(Seetion 129 requires the State
to operate a public school sys-
tenn In view Of the foregoing,
no constitutional amendment is
necessary and none is recon-
mended.
These proposals permit the
preservation of public free
schools and implement flexible
local autonomy. They are
founded on the twin principles
of local determination and free
dom Of choice.

Legislation Needed

In order to prevent road
blocks being placed in the path
OF those attempting to organ
lie and establish private schools
in the form Of numerous in
spections of buildings sought to
be used for such schools and
requiring unnecessary remedial
steps before the issuance of a
use permit for the desired pur-
pose, your Commission believes
that legislation is necessary to
correct this situation.
Included in the appendix to
this report is a proposed bill
which provides that where a
private school has secured a
permit issued by the State
Board of Education with the
approval Of the State Fire Mar
shall, to use and existing build
ing for the operation o. a
school it will not be subject
to local coming ordinances,

Of the General Assembly.
However. the provisions Of
Sections 22-253.l and 22-253.2
are omitted.
The bill provides that any
child may. with consent Of his
parent or guardian. be excused
from school either on recon-
mendation Of the school au-
thorities and the Juvenile Judge
or ON recommendation Of the
Superintendent Of Public In
struction.
It also provides that its pro-
visions shall not be in force
In any locality until it has been
recommended by the local
school board and then duly
adopted by the governing body
Of the locality. The operation
Of the bill may be suspended
at any time in the same man
ner as local ordinances are re-
pealed.
II any section or part there

comes imperative.

Recommendations

Accordingly. we propose
measures to bring about the
greatest possible freedom OF
choice for each locality and
each individual.
We recommend that scholar
ships be made available to chill
dren in every locality to at
tend non-sectarian private
schools.
We recommend a flexible pu-
oil placement plan to meet the
varied conditions throughout
the State.
We recommend a compulsory
attendance law with adequate
safeguards which may be used
by any locality that desires to
do so.
we recommend additional
legislation for disposal Of sur
plus school property.
We recommend local budget
airy changes which will give the
local tax levying body fun con-
troll over local expenditures to
the end that q locality faced
with an intolerable situation
can constitutionally withhold
local support from public
schools by the simple method
of not levying taxes or ap-
propriating money.

other involves constitutional

the State to close schools that

whether or not local funds will
be raised or appropriated for

ton Of the Commission is in
furtherance Of this right Of the
locality.
1t is recommended that the
division superintendent Of
schools be required to submit
the estimate of funds deemed
to be needed by the school
board in two ways. The first
would be an estimate of money
deemed to be needed during
the next scholastic year for the
support Of public schools of the
county or city. The second
would be an alternative esti-
mate of the amount Of money
deemed to be needed for edu-
cational purposes.

The Virginia
Constitution

There Is confusion as to what
our State Constitution requires
with respect to public schools.
It is important to set forth both
what is and what is not re-
CURED.
The Constitution does not re-
quire localities to levy any taxes
or to appropriate any money
for public schools, not even
those of the primary and gram
mar grades. Under Section l36
it is optional with the local au-
thoritieS The General Assem-
bly, has no authority to require
the localities to provide any
financial support for public
schools.
For the year 1888. the
total spent FOR the operation Of
all public schools In Virginia,
exclusive of debt service and
capital outlay. was $l63.370, 900,
This consisted of $65,25o, 900
from the State, sl2 million
from the Federal government
and $50, 100. 900 from the local
tiles. This was eighteen times
as much as the mandatory re-
quirements Of the Virginia Con-
situation.
Thus, from q financial stand
point. the constitutional pro-
visions are not as important as

Pupil Preference

This Commission has given
consideration to the possibilities
Of a Pupil Preference Plan I'M
der which, in addition to the
operation of public schools
open to the admission Of chill
dren Of both races, public
schools would be operated for
the children Of each race whose
parents object to sending their
children to mixed schools.
Due to the practical Difficult
ties in establishing a three
school system in many localities
the Commission does not rec

The Objective

The Commission has received
more than 500 petitions signed
by over $4,000 people from
every section Of the State, stat
ing that they are whole
heartedly opposed to the mix
ing Of the races in our schools
and will not countenance such
mixing" and urging this Com
mission, the General Assembly
and Your Excellency TO restore
to us the enjoyment of Viz
ginia's honor and sovereign
States rights and rapidly to
put Virginia back into the en-
viable position Of no integra-
ton"
The Commission is opposed
to indignation and offers the
program set out herein because
it thinks it is the best that can
be devised at this time to avoid
indignation and preserve our
public schools. If anyone sug-
geSts at any time In the fu-
ture a better plan it will be
welcomed and supported with
all the vigor at our command
The Commission is of the
opinion that it would be nee
essary to close all public schools
throughout the State in order
to prevent any indignation.
The culture and the economy
of our State are directly geared
to the educational attachments
of our people. Steady progress
has been made in raising our
standards Of education. We
cannot afford to let those
standards be lowered. Virginia
is largely dependent upon the
public schools for the educa-
ton Of her children.
The problem created by the
Brown decision varies greatly
in the different sections Of the
State. Therefore, as much au-
tonomy as possible must be
placed in the localities Of the
State so that no child will be
compelled to attend a mixed
school and so that the people
will be assured the greatest pos
'sible freedom of choice in secur-
ing educational opportunities
for their children.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1959-04-02
The Course Followed

When the DEGREES became
final, the course to be followed
was clear. Under the firm,
courageous and dedicated lead
ership Of those in authority
Virginia responded in keeping
with her best and finest tradi-
lions, and under the most try
ing circumstances, set for the
Nation an example of respect
for law and order Of which we
can be justly proud. There was
no mob rule, no violence, no
ugly incident.
We are now faced with deci-
sion. The commission believes
that 1t is its duty to present
the problem with complete
frankness. The truth is that
neither the General Assembly
nor the Governor has the power
to override or nullify the final
DEGREES of the Federal courts
in the school cases.
There is sentiment that it
would be better to have no
public schools than to have
any mixed schools anywhere
in Virginia. However, we be-
lieve that at this time a ma
jority Of the people of Virginia
is unwilling to have the public
schools abandoned.

Scholarships and
Aid to Education

The Commission recommends
that the program of State and
local aid to children securing
their education in nonsectarian
private schools be broadened
to provide scholarships to all
children entitled to attend the
public free schools who prefer
to secure their education in
private schools rather than
public schools.
In the appendix to this re-
port is a proposed bill which
the Commission recommends be
adopted to accomplish this pur-
pose. The bill, if enacted into
law. would provide for each
child a minimum scholarship
OF $3.50, the actual cost of tut
ton at the school attended. or
an amount equal to the total
cost. excluding debt service and
capital outlay, per pupil in
average daily attendance, of
operating the public schools in
the locality making the schol-
arship grant, whichever of such
three sums is the lowest.
The State and localities
would participate Jointly in
providing such scholarship,
each locality's share of each
scholarship to be the same per-
centage as Is its contribution
to the cost of operating the
public schools. The funds for
the scholarship would be dis
bursed by the localities under
rules and regulations promul-
gated by the State Board of
Education.
The Commission also rec
ommends that the tuition that
one locality may charge for at
tendance at its public school
BY a child residing in another
locality in Virginia be limited
to the total per capita cost of
education, excluding debt serv-
ice and capital outlay, of the
public schools of the locality
to which such child is ad-
mitted. A proposed bill to
amend Section 22-219 of the
Code to accomplish this pur-
pose is contained in the ap-
pendix Of this report

Virginia Rulings

On January 10th, 1859, a
three-judge Federal Court in
James v. Almond held uncon-
stitutional virginia's automatic
school closing law. under which
the schools in Norfolk. Chariot
tesville and Warren County had
been closed during the fall Of
1858.
y y y
On the same day the Su-
preme Court Of Appeals of Vir-
ginia in Harrison v. Day, 200
Va. 439, also held virginia's
automatic school closing law
and fund cutoff law invalid
under the Constitution of Vir-
ginia. The Court further rec
ognized the Brown case by
stating that our public schools
must operate even though in
tegrated.
These decisions clearly DEM
onstrate the position In which
Virginia now finds herself after
years of litigation.
Regardless of how unsound
we may regard the 1854 de-
cision of the Supreme Court
of the United States and ir-
respective Of what action may
be taken in the future to con-
vince that Court, the Congress,
or the people of the United
States that the decision should
be reversed. we are now COM
PEELED to recognize the exist
ence Of that decision and the
overwhelming power Of the
Federal Government by the use
of force to carry out Federal
Court DEGREES.

Preferred Method

beIore SUCH q drastic ap-
proach is adopted. it is the
Commissions belief that the
localities should avail them
selves of all possible means of
meeting the situation by exer-
cising the authority they now
have, or which may properly
be given to them, without COM
pletely disrupting public edu-
cation throughout Virginia.
Under Section 1856 of the
Constitution no locality is re-
quired to appropriate funds for
the support Of public schools.
Iraditionally, and under the
present Appropriation Act.
funds for school purposes
above the constitutional mini
mum are distributed only to-
those localities which, them
selves, contribute to the support
Of public schools. Therefore
under the present Appropria-
ton Act, localities which elect
not to make a levy or appropri-
ate funds for school purposes
will effectively end public
schools in that locality. It's
share Of funds appropriated by
the State to meet the constitu-
tional minimum would still
have to be expended for MAIN
tenance and for the primary
and grammar grades, but the
extent of instruction that could
be provided would be limited.
Either Of the two approaches
provides the desired result of
permitting local determination
as to the operation of public
schools. However, the first
method effectively destroys our
State system Of public free
schools. The locality would be
free to determine the use of
all State appropriations above
the constitutional minimum.
There would be little or no
State control. The second
method keeps the State system
