Caroline supervisors reject returning $1.7 million to schools for capital projects

The Caroline Board of Supervisors has decided not to give the county schools $1.7 million in leftover funds that the School Board wanted to use for capital improvements.
The supervisors’ 4–2 vote Tuesday resulted in the county retaining the full $1.7 million dollars, delaying a number of the school division’s one-time facility needs.
Supervisors Jeff Sili, Reggie Underwood, Nancy Long and Floyd Thomas voted against the reversion funding. Supervisors Clay Forehand and Jeff Black supported a compromise to give the schools $300,000 for a multi-purpose gym and $140,000 for upgrades to the Caroline High School softball field.
Superintendent Sarah Calvert said the $1.7 million came from savings in gasoline and substitute costs due to the COVID-19 pandemic forcing the system to convert to virtual learning over the past year.
