CHARLESTON The West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals heard argument Tuesday in a case brought by the state’s first charter school applicant after two county boards of education denied its application.
The West Virginia Academy, a proposed charter school for the Monongalia and Preston County areas by West Virginia University professors, sued the West Virginia Board of Education for not stepping in after the boards of education in those counties allegedly ignored timelines and denied the charter school application.
