Charter School Policy on 60-day public comment
As required by law, the West Virginia Board of Education has promulgated rules for the implementation of the charter school provisions of the omnibus education bill passed in June. The proposed policy is out on a 60-day public comment, rather than a 30-day comment period thanks to a motion by WV BOE member Debra Sullivan.
Members are strongly encouraged to review and comment on the proposed policy. Additionally, AFT-West Virginia has announced its intention to file a lawsuit on the constitutionality of the charter school provision of the law.
