WASHINGTON (ANP) - Two District court suits were filed last week against the school board and the superintendent of Schools by parents of Negro pupils here.
One suit was filed jointly by the parents of four pupils at the Cardozo High School. The suit charges that the school is inferior facilities, and accuses the board of race prejudice in refusing either better facilities or turning over surplus white schools to Negroes.
The other suit was filed in the behalf of a four year boy who was denied admission to an elementary school because of overcrowding.
Schools officials in their 1950 budget requests said that there are 2500 Negro children of kindergarten age not in school because of a lack of facilities.
The waiting lists from last year of White pupils was absorbed this year by placing the children in the lower grades on a part time basis.
