Interview with Albertis S. Harrison, Jr., Attorney General About the Pupil Placement
Law
|
|
|
Attorney General Harrison said Virginia's pupil placement law, which the General
Assembly amended in 1958, was still in operation and so was the state's pupil placement
board. The school desegregation controversy made clarification of the pupil placement
law necessary because localities continued to assign pupils and take requests yet the
state pupil placement law appeared to give full control over these local decisions to
the state board. Harrison said the best way to obtain clarification about the scope of
the law would come either by pending litigation in Charlottesville, Arlington, Norfolk,
or Newport News, or by an independent proceeding.
