Referendum Law
For School Sales
Ruled Against
Allegheny County
Action May Have
Local Effect

Ruling unconstitutional t h
freedom Of choice" law permit
ting citizens by referendum to
force a school board to sell I'M
needed school property came as
no surprise to a number Of local
persons. /.
The rulirg came Friday when
Judge Earl l.. Abbott, of Allie
ghany Circuit Court, dismissed a
petition by citizens which sought
to force the school board to sell
a. high school site they thought
.llpi actlcal.
Judge Abbot ruled the law I'M
constitutional On the grounds that
it takes away from the school
board authority vested in it by
the State Constitution.
Circuit Application
The ruling in Allegheny county
does not apply outside of that
circuit. but it is thought it may
have a bearing on the Prince Ed
ward school situation.
The referendum law as well as
the one Judge Abbott referred to
as the basis for ruling the new
one unconstitutional Section %
l61 of the Virginia Code, have
received considerable attention
here in the past year.
The Prince Edward School
Foundation asked the school
board to use its power under
Section 22-161 to declare public
school buildings in the county
surplus and offer them for sale.
Earlier the foundation made
request that Farmville High
School building and equipment be
declared surplus.
The school board answered the
first request by saying it did not
feel it could take sole RESPONSE
bility for selling the main white
high school. It suggested that the
referendum procedure be fol-
lowed All members. but one. of
that school board resigned in
April. A new board was APP
pointed, and the second request
that all the abandoned school
buildings be dclared surplus still
remains unanswered. It was
carried over in the minutes from
the old to the new school board.
Foundation Viewpoint
Blanton B. Hanbury, president
of the foundation, said today, 1T
has never been our intention to
force the school board to do any
thing. That would have been
the case if the referendum pro-
cedure were followed)
The private school leader
added. 1T has been our feeling
that we should proceed under the
old law which gives the school
board full control to handle the
school buildings as they see fit. "
The old law referred to is Sec
ton 22-l6l which gives the school
board the power to sell. exchange
or convey school property With
the approval and ratification of
the Circuit Court of the county.
1t has been in use throughout
the state since at least 1919.
