Fredericksburg City Public Schools face persistent academic challenges. Yet some School Board members appear more focused on premium travel than on closing achievement gaps with neighboring districts. This mismatch in priorities sends the wrong message to taxpayers who are repeatedly asked to fund the system.
Recent reporting by The Fredericksburg Advance has shone a much-needed light on questionable spending. In fiscal year 2025, board members Jarvis Bailey and Malvina Kay accounted for nearly half of the $16,500 professional development and travel budget. Their trips included a Hawaii conference for Bailey and an Atlanta trip for Kay, featuring a first-class plane ticket. Bailey rented a “premium elite” SUV for his drive to Georgia, with costs exceeding federal per diems.
“When we pass a law, it is their constitutional responsibility to enforce those laws,” Del. Joshua Cole (D-Fredericksburg) WTVR reports. “I think one of the things we really do need to take seriously is if these constitutional officers are not willing to enforce the law, what type of legislation can we introduce to hold them accountable for not doing their job.”
Cole, who represents parts of Spotsylvania County, called the prosecutors’ refusal to enforce Virginia’s new assault weapons ban purely political. He argued that lawmakers pass the laws while courts determine constitutionality.
Officers also responded to a fraud case in Stafford County involving a common Publisher Clearinghouse sweepstakes scam. No injuries were reported in either case.
