The Farifax-Brewster School was a private K-6 elementary school in Bailey's Crossroads, Virginia.Шаблон:R The school was founded in 1954 by Stuart A. Reiss and Robert S. Reiss, with Robert's wife Olga also serving in an administrative role.Шаблон:R The school began operating in 1955 with an average enrollment of 21 students.Шаблон:R The Fairfax-Brewster School opened a summer camp the following year, also serving students in Kindergarten through 6th grade.Шаблон:R By 1962, 21 students attended the summer camp.Шаблон:R
The proximity of the school's founding to Brown v. Board of Education ruling desegregating public schools has led some legal scholars to describe Fairfax-Brester as a segregation academy.[1]
By 1972, enrollment at the Fairfax-Brewster School had grown to 236 students during the school year and 223 students at the summer camp.Шаблон:R No black student had ever been enrolled in the school or summer camp.Шаблон:R The school faced a federal lawsuit in 1973 (Runyon v. McCrary) after denying admission to a black child, Colin M. Gonzales.Шаблон:R The school denied having discriminated against black students, saying that Gonzales was not admitted because he would not qualify to begin first grade.Шаблон:R The court found that Gonzales was denied admission solely because of his race, a decision that was upheld on appeal to the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals and the Supreme Court.Шаблон:R
The Reiss family continued to own and operate the Fairfax-Brewster School until Olga and Robert retired in 1987 and 1988, respectively.Шаблон:R By 1989, Norma Brill had become the owner and director of the school and summer camp.Шаблон:R The school was sold to Chancellor Beacon Academies in 2000, which was later acquired by Imagine Schools.Шаблон:R
In 2006, the school was torn down and several homes were built on the property, most of which have an address on Brill Court, a street named after former owner Norma Brill.
