EWP 2-5B Yr 1926 May 10 Bazile Opinion
-
Description
-
On May 10, 1926, Assistant Attorney General Leon M. Bazile of Richmond, Virginia, responded to a letter from Commonwealth's Attorney Cecil Connor of Leesburg regarding a dispute over the location of a new high school in the county. Bazile explained that under the relevant Code of Virginia sections, the division superintendent of schools had the authority to approve or disapprove plans and specifications for school construction. In this case, Bazile argued that as the site had been selected seventeen or eighteen years prior, the division superintendent did not have jurisdiction to disapprove the old site for the school. He suggested that the school trustee electoral board had jurisdiction to consider the appeal from the heads of families who had complained about the location and recommended that they proceed with the appeal process under the appropriate legal provisions. Bazile's response highlighted the complexities of educational governance and decision-making processes in local communities during the early 20th century.
