FAIRMONTÂ â Randy Farley will certainly be missed at the Marion County Board of Education.
Employees, school board members and community leaders all gathered together Monday afternoon at the board s central office to congratulate Farley on his retirement.
In March, Farley announced his retirement after serving Marion County Schools for 46 years. His contract ends July 1.
At the celebration, Farley was given official proclamations of congratulation from several major Marion County organizations, such as Fairmont State University, the Marion County Chamber of Commerce, the Marion County Commission and the office of U.S. Rep. David McKinley, R-1.

The Marion County Board of Education meets for an emergency meeting on Jan. 22, 2021 to discuss school reentry.
The ruling requires some in-person instruction for grades K-8 regardless of the color on the state’s COVID-19 risk map.
All 55 county school systems are now offering some in-person classes. In some places, school might be held in brick-and-mortar buildings a full five days a week, but in others, some have shortened days, and some are blended alternating between in-person and remote throughout the week.
Fully remote learning is no longer permitted for students in kindergarten through middle school, and high schools are only allowed to be remote when a county is red on the state’s coronavirus map.
