Spotsylvania County Schools sent an email to parents at Courtland High School promoting a college workshop on November 3rd hosted by school board candidate Nicole Cole.

With the election on November 2nd, the timing of this email is not just a coincidence. It is a conflict of interest. Spotsylvania Schools Superintendent Scott Baker has not apologized, retracted, or removed Cole’s name and picture. Scott Baker is allowing free advertising for the Cole campaign just days ahead of the election. In our view, this is corrupt behavior by Baker. He should know better than to allow something like this to occur.
