HUNTINGTON â The Cabell County Board of Education has voted to continue a waiver that will allow Explorer Academy in Huntington to continue their own English Language Arts curriculum, which differs from other schools in the county.
The waiver has been in place for several years, but recent action from the board members would have ended that exception and Explorer Academy would have adopted the same curriculum as the rest of the county.
A number of school families were vocal in their support for continuation of the current curriculum when a new district-wide curriculum was adopted in the spring, Superintendent Ryan Saxe said.
HUNTINGTON â The obstacles that the Cabell County Board of Education will face in building the new Davis Creek Elementary School are not what many thought they might be.
The proposed location, the site of the former Barboursville Brick Company, has long been the focus of conversations centered on contaminants and has not had a tenant since the factory closed in 1979.
But contaminated soil isnât the biggest hurdle the school board will have to clear to build there â itâs what the soil is composed of.
EnviroProbe Integrated Solutions, a company specializing in geotechnical and environmental drilling, sampling and analysis, was hired by Cabell County Schools to conduct a study of the land and what lies beneath it as it pertains to regulations for building a residential property.
