Letter to the Editor: Vanison on NAACP Forum with ACPS Superintendent

To the editor,

On behalf of the Alexandria Chapter of the NAACP, we would like to thank everyone that attended the question-and-answer session with ACPS Superintendent Morton Sherman on March 12. Your questions and ours show that there is much work to be done.  

As stated during the forum, the NAACP strives to ensure that all students have access to an equal and high-quality public education by eliminating education-related racial and ethnic disparities in our public schools.  

As the education committee chair and Alexandria Branch as a whole, we plan to become more active in the community to ensure that our mission is not in vain.

Whether it is a PTA or School Board meeting, City Council hearing or wherever we need to be, we plan to be there to ensure our children are getting the best education possible. 

Please be on watch for more forums and community interaction from the NAACP.

As we carry out our mission, if you have questions, comments or concerns feel free to contact us.

Crystal Vanison
Education Committee Chair
Alexandria Chapter of the NAACP
