School funding dispute intensifies between Bedford County leaders

School Funding Dispute in Bedford County

A dispute over school funding has intensified between Bedford County leaders.

Several members of the Bedford County Board of Supervisors are upset after comments made during a school board meeting last week regarding local school funding.

At a public school board meeting, parents and students expressed concerns about a proposed plan to move students from their current schools, which did not align with actual development in Forest.

School board member Dora Purvis attributed the issue to the Board of Supervisors, stating they were not responsive to requests for increased funding.

Supervisor Charla Bansley addressed these accusations during Tuesday night's board of supervisors meeting.
