CHARLESTON Wood County Schools officials spoke to the West Virginia State Board of Education on Wednesday about the district’s new summer school program.
Superintendent Will Hosaflook, Director of Curriculum & Instruction Christie Willis, Curriculum Coordinator Ashlee Beatty and school board President Justin Raber discussed the district’s new summer school program that is made possible from the state’s Summer SOLE (Student Opportunities for Learning and Engagement) funding.
Hosaflook said the purpose of the summer program is not only to get students caught up due to time lost in the classroom but to reestablish the student’s love for learning for all students in Wood County, not just Title I or non Title I students.
