Dear Bay County NAACP Members and Friends,

Please plan to attend the upcoming School Board Candidate Forum on Monday, August 3 at 5:30 p.m. in the Government Center, Commissioners Chambers, 840 W. 11th Street, Panama City.

District 2 seats are sought by Ginger Littleton and Michael Petty. District 3 seats are sought by John Haley, Colleen Koch, Glenn Manley and Christopher Moore.

The candidates will have the opportunity to share their platforms and this will be your opportunity to ask questions focused on how to get us from a B District to an A District (school grades released for the 2025/26 school year) and how to bring up our 2 D schools (including Patterson).

This event is sponsored by the Bay County Branch NAACP and the Bay County Civic Engagement Coalition.
