Description
-
In March 1930, a group of citizens in Mountville, Virginia submitted a petition to the School Board of Loudoun County, requesting the construction of a new two-room schoolhouse. The petition highlighted the inadequacy of the current one-room building, stating that it was not suitable to accommodate the needs of the community, with an average enrollment of 47 pupils ranging from grades one to seven. The citizens expressed their commitment to supporting the project and emphasized the urgent need for a new school, noting the poor condition of the existing structure. They also outlined their efforts to organize a Community League and hold regular meetings to work towards this goal. The petitioners also requested the retention of two teachers for the upcoming term, stressing the importance of adequate staffing to ensure the best educational outcomes for the children of Mountville.
