School board amends Black History Month resolution to recognize Superintendent Clint Mitchell
Summary
The Spotsylvania County School Board unanimously adopted a resolution recognizing Black History Month and approved an amendment adding that Dr. Clint Mitchell is the division's first Black superintendent.
The Spotsylvania County School Board unanimously approved a resolution recognizing February as Black History Month in the school division and adopted an amendment to the resolution explicitly naming Superintendent Clint Mitchell as the division's first Black superintendent.
Chair Megan Jackson proposed adding a paragraph to the resolution to record that historical milestone. In proposing the amendment, the chair said she wanted that fact noted "because it is historic and it should be noted in our history." After a brief comment period, the board voted to adopt the amended resolution. The transcript records the clerk reading the final amended resolution, which concluded with "Adopted 02/09/2026. Megan Jackson, board chair."
Board members offered congratulatory remarks and thanked staff and students for programs recognizing Black History Month. The action was procedural but symbolic: the amendment places the superintendent's milestone in the official minutes and in the board's public statement on the observance.
What's next: The amended resolution will be included in the official meeting minutes and stands as the board's formal recognition of Black History Month for the division.
