CHARLESTON Gov. Jim Justice said Friday that the West Virginia Board of Education was acting in the best interests of students by prohibiting counties from switching to remote learning when COVID-19 cases soar.
Speaking Friday afternoon during his coronavirus briefing at the State Capitol Building, Justice said it was important to get students back to some form of in-person learning, whether it was a full five-day experience or the hybrid-blended model where students only go on certain days.
“We can’t just go remote,” Justice said. “If that’s not good enough, then you’re on your own … the state Board of Education and Superintendent (Clayton) Burch make that call. All I can do is just say from the Governor’s standpoint, the governor’s executive order is just go to school.”
