BUCKINGHAM — County supervisors in Buckingham tabled a request from the county school board on Monday to reallocate $40,000 for the purchase of four acres of property beside the Carter G. Woodson Education Complex on Route 20.

The land could be used for expanded parking lot space, according to Division Superintendent Dr. Cecil Snead.

The move to table the matter until the next board of supervisors meeting came from District Four Supervisor Morgan Dunnavant.

Snead requested the move of the funds from the instruction category to the facilities category within the school board’s budget.

“There’s been an opportunity for us with the land beside the Carter G. Woodson Complex. There’s about four acres that is currently owned by the Buckingham Training Center. …,” he said. “That land is available. And the school board … understanding the congestion in the parking lots through special events, has become to realize that it might by in our best interest and favor if we would look at some additional land.”

The $40,000 would come from the school board’s instruction budget category, part of money that was saved through payroll due to the most recent school calendar change.
