Georgetown NAACP urges board to reinstate bus driver, demands independent investigation
Summary
Marvin Neal, speaking for the Georgetown NAACP, told the school board a bus driver is off the job after driving a route and called it a 'grave injustice,' urging immediate reinstatement and an independent probe into alleged patterns of non‑transparency affecting Black employees.
Marvin Neal, representing the Georgetown NAACP, told the Georgetown County School District Board that a devoted bus driver at Carvers Bay Middle School is currently off work after doing her assigned route and called the disciplinary action a "grave injustice." He urged the board to "immediately rectify this injustice and reinstate her" and to remove those who made the disciplinary decision from their roles pending a full resolution.
Neal said the incident is part of an ongoing pattern of what he described as a lack of transparency and persistent non‑accountability affecting Black employees in the district. "As representative of the Georgetown NAACP, we are here tonight to demand a thorough independent investigation," he said. The board did not state a response on the record during the public‑comment period, and no formal personnel action was announced publicly at the meeting.
