School board to authorize superintendent to sign closing papers on Central property

Documents released Friday afternoon officially identified the buyer of the former Central Primary School building in Arkadelphia.

The Arkadelphia Board of Education on Tuesday, Sept. 17, will consider a resolution authorizing Superintendent Nikki Thomas to sign closing documents on the Central property.

The resolution identifies Roger and Kadre Wingfield, of Arkadelphia, as prospective buyers of the property at a $215,000 price tag.

In 2021 the campus was appraised at $1.29 million.

The property was later listed for $690,000, then reduced to $575,000 by November 2023.

In other business the school board is expected to hear from the Peake Alumni Foundation/Buffaloes Foundation, apparently regarding the mascot being used at Peake Elementary School.

The school board meets at 6 p.m. Tuesday at Dawson Building #3, 700 Clinton St., Arkadelphia. Meetings, except for executive session portions, are open to the public.
