West Virginia education officials emphasized the importance of in-person instruction during a Wednesday meeting of the state board of education.
State Superintendent Clayton Burch said most school systems in West Virginia are offering five days a week of in-person instruction while 14 counties have been granted a waiver to offer four days of in-person classes.
He said counties with the waiver are using their fifth day for a variety of purposes such as providing teachers with the time to keep up with students who remain in full-time virtual learning.

CHARLESTON â The West Virginia Board of Education is speaking out against the proposed state constitutional amendment that would take away its final say over education policies and give it to the Legislature.
The amendment would mean lawmakers could amend and reject the state school boardâs policies, which set what students must learn, how they can be disciplined and other regulations.
In a voice vote with no dissent, the board approved Wednesday issuing a statement against the proposal. Tom Campbell was the only member absent for the whole meeting.
âThe learning is going to be inconsistent. Itâs going to be inconsistent when you have a Legislature that changes every two years,â board President Miller Hall said. âWhere is the consistency?â
