West Virginia Superintendent Clayton Burch speaking to media in a virtual press briefing on Sept. 25, 2020.
It’s been a tough year for K-12 education in West Virginia. From making sure students were fed in the spring and summer, to figuring out how to open safely in the fall, to balancing new and old learning models, and to finding solutions to broadband challenges.
As students, parents and school personnel take a break and enter the holidays, state education leaders are now looking ahead to the spring and a new year.
West Virginia Superintendent of Schools Clayton Burch has some goals in mind he wants to tackle when students and staff return in January. Two things in particular: recovery and the achievement gap.
