NCPS Families:
As part of our ongoing commitment to maintaining safe and secure schools, Nottoway County Public Schools will conduct a lockdown drill at our schools this week. These drills are an important part of our comprehensive school safety procedures and allow students and staff to practice how to respond appropriately in the event of an emergency.
Please know that this is only a drill. There is no threat or emergency at our schools. Students will remain under the supervision of school staff throughout the drill, and the exercise will be conducted in an age-appropriate manner.
We understand that safety drills can sometimes cause concern for students and families. Our goal is to ensure that everyone knows what to do during an emergency while providing a calm, supportive environment for our students.
Thank you for your continued partnership as we work together to keep our students and staff safe.
We Are Nottoway-- Committed to Excellence!
~Dr. Martin
Updated Information about the 1% Sales Tax Referendum and the benefit to NCPS! Please review the letter below:
Subject: 1% Sales Tax Referendum to Appear on November 3 Ballot
Dear NCPS Families and Staff,
I am writing to share that the Nottoway County Board of Supervisors has taken action to place a 1% local sales and use tax referendum on the ballot for Tuesday, November 3, 2026.
If approved by voters, the measure would provide a dedicated source of funding for eligible capital projects, helping to address significant facility needs across our schools.
A recent Virginia Department of Education Facility Condition Assessment identified long-term needs that include roof repairs and replacements, HVAC upgrades, electrical and plumbing improvements, safety and security enhancements, and improvements to classrooms and learning spaces.
NCPS continues to prioritize resources and make responsible financial decisions, but major facility projects often require funding beyond what is available through the annual operating budget. The proposed sales and use tax would provide a dedicated way to make these longer-term investments.
The proposed sales tax would also diversify the local tax base and reduce reliance on property owners alone to support these investments. Because the tax applies to eligible taxable purchases made in Nottoway County, residents would not be the only ones contributing. Visitors, tourists, and other shoppers would also help support improvements to local schools.
Under Virginia law, revenue from the tax could only be used for eligible capital projects, such as school construction, renovation, modernization, and related financial costs. It could not be used for regular operating expenses.
NCPS will continue sharing information about the proposal, our facility needs, and potential investments with families, staff, and the community in the months ahead. Stay connected with the division for updates and more information as the referendum moves forward.
As always, thank you for your continued support of NCPS and the students we serve.
Sincerely,
Marcia Martin
Superintendent
