More Coverups at Spotsy Schools ?

At public comment during the January 13th Spotsylvania County School board meeting, a parent spoke about a teacher that sexually harassed his daughter. He provides the name of the teacher. This led to a motion later in the meeting for Superintendent Mitchell to provide a report to the board. Are there more coverups underway in Spotsylvania County Schools ?

More Insight on the Miguel Velasquez Velasco Case

The next hearing for Miguel Velasquez Velasco, the Spotsylvania County Schools bus aide charged with 11 counts of child sexual assault, will be on January 15, 2025. During public comment at the 1/13 school board meeting, speaker Roy Searles read an excerpt from emails sent to the Spotsy Wire from credible verified sources that wish to remain anonymous for fear of retaliation from school division leadership.

On a different note, we find it interesting that at 9:30pm at the 1/13 school board meeting that there is a presentation on the safety climate of the school division. We find this to be propaganda in light of all the child XXX abuse situations that have occurred in the school division.

Trespassing on the Superintendent’s Feelings

Spotsylvania County Schools Superintendent Clint Mitchell wasted no time in creating another potential lawsuit against the school division. Clint Mitchell’s email from 7:19pm on 1/12/2025 shows that he wants to issue a no trespass order against citizen Roy Searles for the great crime of free speech. Mitchell apparently doesn’t think the school division has enough lawsuits so let’s add another one while giving raises to school board members at the 1/13 school board meeting. Apparently, Roy trespassed on Mitchell’s feelings.

Outrage on School Board Member Raises

At the Spotsylvania County School Board meeting on January 13, the consent agenda shows that school board members will receive raises. Where is the outrage? Didn’t Megan Jackson and Belen Rodas make a stink at the January 2024 school board meeting when a similar measure was attempted?

These school board member raises come on the backs of taking away teacher raises, tight budgets, and the lack of health care reserves. Yet, they want to give more money to a new chair? Are school board members really wanting to take more tax payer money for themselves ?

Nicole Cole Declares Herself Chair

The election of the Spotsylvania County School Board Chair and Vice Chair happens at the January 13 school board meeting. Yet, Nicole Cole has already declared herself the winner as Chair of the school board. The screenshot below shows this in the yellow highlighted text. This has been on her page for at least a few days now without any correction. We would love to see Nasty Nicole as the board chair. It would be entertaining to watch her racist views, arrogance, anti-education, and anti-child views on a bigger platform!

Clint Mitchell is a Politician

Spotsylvania County Schools Superintendent Clint Mitchell admits his work as Superintendent is political. Superintendent Mitchell stated at one of his listening sessions “Part of the work of the superintendency and the superintendent, while we don’t want it to be political in nature, it is political”. Here is the video of Mitchell making that statement.

Does Clint Mitchell pretty much admit to being a politician? We think so. It is all about politics and looking good instead of solving problems. We think this explains why he pushes diversity, equity, and inclusiveness. We think this explains why he does nothing and stays silent on the serious problems of child XXX abuse. Do we really need someone that is a politician leading the school division?

Superintendent Mitchell’s Focus on Race

Here is a video clip where Superintendent Clint Mitchell of Spotsylvania County Schools focuses on race and diversity. Why does Dr Mitchell want Human Resources to hire teachers based on diversity instead of just hiring the best teachers possible regardless of diversity? Why is Dr Mitchell obsessed with pointing out the immutable characteristic of race instead of focusing on the individual decisions required for success? We think we know why. Race matters only to racists. The rest of us care about character.

Performative Politics by Amy Williams

Amy Williams, the director of Human Resources for Spotsylvania County Schools, provided a presentation on the hiring process at the 12/9 school board meeting. This was nothing more than performative politics. She did nothing but skirt around the central issue of hiring Miguel Velasquez Velasco, the bus aide who is charged with 11 counts of child XXX assault. We hope Ms. Williams responds to our email.

The 12/9 School Board Meeting

Shamgar Connors attended the school board meeting on 12/9/2024. In the picture below, Ms. Drane, Mr. Lieberman, and Marcus Hugo Chavez Garcia appear in the background. Clogged Drane and Marcus Hugo Chavez spoke during public comment. Apparently neither of them cares about the child XXX scandals in Spotsylvania County Schools and believe that the government is the solution to all the problems in education. If that were true, why haven’t test scores gone thru the roof in places like Baltimore that has one of the highest costs per pupil in the country?

The Silence of Clint Mitchell in the Miguel Velasquez Velasco Case

The Spotsylvania County Schools Superintendent and School Board leadership have been silent on the child sexual assault charges in the Miguel Velasquez Velasco case. Here is a screenshot of the email we sent to Superintendent Mitchell asking a few questions.

We believe that the silence is nothing more than a cover-up led by Superintendent Mitchell, school board chair Lorita Daniels, and Vice Chair Nicole Cole. Mitchell started as Superintendent on August 1, 2024. Spotsylvania County Schools provided training to Miguel Velasquez-Velasco on August 5 and August 6. We have the training documentation showing these dates with Velasquez-Velasco’s signature. All of this occurred under the watch of Mitchell and the head of transportation.

Update on Miguel Velasquez Velasco, Spotsylvania County Schools

The next hearing for the Miguel Velasquez Velasco case will be held on January 15, 2025. Miguel Velasquez Velasco is the Spotsylvania County Schools bus aide that was arrested in September 2024 and charged with 11 counts of child sexual assault. Our understanding is that this January 15th hearing concerns the defendants’ competency.

Here is our earlier article on this case – https://spotsywire.com/2024/10/05/charges-against-miguel-velasquez-velasco-spotsylvania-county-schools/

Testy Exchange Between Daniels & Cole

Here are two back-to-back video clips of a testy exchange between School Board Chair Lorita Daniels and Vice Chair Nicole Cole at the November 18 school board meeting. Daniels was struggling to get a hold of the meeting during a motion made by Carol Medawar.

Nicole Cole Mocks Trump Supporters

Here is the video clip at the 11/11/2024 school board meeting where Spotsylvania County Schools Vice Chair Nicole Cole mocks Trump supporters. Ms. Cole goes onto further say she does not want anyone making a mockery of the school board meetings.

Cole’s statement is nothing more than projection. Cole has made a mockery of school board meetings with her racist rants, attacks on school board members, and attacks on citizens that we covered in past articles – https://spotsywire.com/category/nicole-cole/

More Abuse? Report It to the Spotsy Wire

We are getting reports of abuse at elementary schools such as Berkeley, Cedar Forest (again), Battlefield, and others. We are aware that a teacher had their hands around a kid’s neck at one of the schools. If any teachers or parents have knowledge of these events, please email us. We will keep you anonymous. Sunlight is the best disinfectant. Dr Clint, hiding information from parents does not help anyone.

Questions for the Woke Superintendent

Here is the email that we wrote to Spotsylvania County Schools Superintendent Clint Mitchell. We believe that he supports a racist agenda that is backed by the Nicole Cole and Lorita Daniels led woke school board.

Shelly’s FOIA Request

At the 11/11/2024 school board meeting, former school board member Dawn Shelley said during public comment that she requested a FOIA of video taken by April Gillespie. We would like Ms. Shelley to know that we have the video. Here is a screen shot of the video that you seek Ms. Shelley. If anyone can reach Ms. Shelley, please let her know that she can contact us for the video.

The Moment Daniels & Mitchell Infringes on Free Speech

Here is the video when School Board Chair Lorita Daniels and Superintendent Clint Mitchell infringes on free speech during public comment at the 10/14 school board meeting.  When the speaker mentions the child sex assault situation with Miguel Velasquez Velasco, Daniels and Mitchell clearly did not want that being discussed. In the video, you can hear Superintendent Clint Mitchell say to cut off her microphone. The Superintendent and Chair clearly want to censor free speech.

Daniels is Out of Order

The Spotsylvania County School Board at 8:15pm is on its 2nd recess. Here are events that transpired between the first recess and the second recess at the 10/14 school board meeting

  • Daniels forced a vote for a speaker to speak an additional 30 seconds after 30 seconds were taken away from her.
  • During the first recess, a citizen was escorted out of the school board meeting room at the direction of the administration instead of the board chair which is how its supposed to be.
  • During the first recess, Gillespie states that the deputy slammed the door forcefully on her hand
  • Prior to the second recess, Gillespie wanted to make a motion for the deputy to be removed from the meeting after slamming the door on Gillespie’s hand. You can hear Lieberman laughing in the background.
