*The Branch is Concerned About The Future of Public Education in The County !  Spotsylvania County Public School has undergone dramatic transitions over the past year. The highly qualified, former superintendent was terminated leaving the district without a superintendent since January. Additionally, several qualified teachers, counselors, division administrators and their staff no longer work for the district. This lapse in leadership deeply concerns the Spotsylvania NAACP, as the educational development of Spotsylvania’s children has been potentially compromised. The organization’s immediate concerns are further exacerbated by the hiring of the incoming superintendent with no formal training in educational leadership or practical experience at the elementary through secondary grade levels. The NAACP demands students receive a top notch and world class education and plans to meet with the new superintendent to discuss our concerns in the very near future. For more information and to express your concerns contact branch at 540-847-7637.  


 *Branch Officers Election Time is Now! Please Check Your Email for Election Buddy!  The election will be conducted electronically by the National Office. On November 3, you will receive an email with a Ballot with a list of persons seeking to server as officers of the branch.  You will have from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m.  to submit your response to the Ballot sent to you.   

*Branch Will Conduct a Christmas Social and Fund Raiser Event on December 10, 2022, at 4:00 p.m. at the River Club Church! The Spotsylvania NAACP will conduct a fun filled Holiday event. This event will be a time to relax and enjoy an afternoon of fun as well as an opportunity to contribute to an organization that works to ensure equality, fairness and justice is afforded to all. The event will also recognize some frontline individuals who’s job put them where the rubber meets the road. For more details and tickets, please visit our website at spotsylvanianaacp.org or call 540-847-7637.

 

*Spotsylvania Board of Supervisors Submitted a Request to the State Election Commission to Reduce Early Voting Days from 45 days to 14 days!  Although the Board of Supervisors does not have the authority to reduce the number of early voting days, it should be noted that they expressed their desire to have them reduced. This type of limiting or restricting voting opportunities is occurring throughout the U.S. The branch asks all citizens to pay attention to the actions of our BOS’s and monitor them. For more information contact Mr. Petway at 540-847-7637.
