Description
-
Page 8 of the Gray Commission Report emphasizes the need for Virginia’s citizens to respond to the challenge of school integration with the same spirit as the state’s historical leaders. The Commission proposes legislation allowing local school boards to assign students in a way that maintains segregation and offers tuition grants to families who refuse to send their children to integrated schools. It also recommends amending §141 of the Virginia Constitution to permit public funds to be used for private school tuition, arguing that failure to do so would jeopardize other state education programs, including scholarships and aid for specialized student groups.
