Statement from Stacey Davis
Beaufort County Board of Education
September 18, 2025
In recent days, a narrative has emerged that misrepresents my character, my intent, and my service to Beaufort County. Allegations have been amplified suggesting misconduct and a breach of public trust. These portrayals are not only inaccurate—they are politically charged and strategically weaponized.
Let me be unequivocal:
-
No criminal charges have been filed.
-
The District Attorney reviewed the matter and declined to pursue action.
-
I cooperated fully with all inquiries and remain in full compliance with North Carolina law.
As an elected official, I am protected under the doctrine of legislative immunity, which ensures that public servants can act in good faith without fear of retaliation or distortion. I also affirm my commitment to the ethical standards outlined in Chapter 138A of the State Government Ethics Act and the principles of open government under N.C.G.S. § 132-1.
Calls for resignation based on optics rather than evidence undermine the very transparency and accountability our community deserves. I will not resign. I will not be silenced. I will continue to serve Beaufort County with integrity, humility, and resolve.
This moment is not about a single event—it is about resisting the politicization of public service. I remain committed to lawful governance, student safety, and the preservation of public trust.
Let us move forward with facts, not fiction. With policy, not politics.
In service and accountability,
Stacey Davis
Elected Member, Beaufort County Board of Education
Advocate for Transparency & Lawful Governance
