Title: EWP 2-5A Petition Regarding Overcrowding and Curricular Concerns at Douglass High School (circa 1952)
Description: This scanned document addresses overcrowded conditions and inadequate support for curricular requirements at Douglass High School in Leesburg, Virginia. The committee, appointed by the County-Wide League, authored the petition to urge the Loudoun County School Board to take action in preparation for the 1952–1953 school year. The document emphasizes that the school is in jeopardy of not meeting the standards set by the State Board of Education in Richmond, Virginia. It also notes that this is the third formal request to address the school's needs, with prior requests made in 1948 and again in 1950.
