CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) - Eight public schools in four West Virginia counties have been targeted for closing, contingent on those counties receiving state funding to consolidate schools.
The state Board of Education on Thursday approved the closing of Fall River, Kimball and Welch elementary schools in McDowell County; Fort Ashby Primary, Wiley Ford Primary and Frankfort Intermediate in Mineral County; Buffalo Elementary School in Wayne County, and Cedar Grove Middle School in Kanawha County.
The closings were earlier approved by local boards of education. They are contingent on funding approval from the state School Building Authority, which is set to meet next Monday in Charleston, The Charleston Gazette-Mail reported.
Welch Elementary School in McDowell County
The West Virginia Board of Education voted unanimously Thursday to approve the closing and consolidation of schools in four counties.
Board members acknowledged the difficulties of school closings but applauded the work of county superintendents in formulating and promoting each plan.
Next, counties will seek funding from the School Building Authority to pay for the proposed school improvements.
Here are the changes and the counties’ reasoning.
Kanawha County
In their
proposal, Kanawha County Schools officials cite decreasing population and student enrollment as well as the age of the Cedar Grove facility. They also say the merger would lead to a better education experience for students.
