Leaders from several of West Virginia’s largest teacher unions had sharp criticism for bills under consideration in the state legislature. They voiced their concerns to the state Board of Education on Wednesday.
“Our educators have worked harder in this pandemic year than anyone could have ever asked,” said Dale Lee, president of the West Virginia Educators Association and a special education teacher at Princeton High School. “They’ve worked harder and reached out to more children than anybody could have imagined. Our educators are heroes and they’re being treated with such disrespect. It’s shameful.”
