Enrollment loss continues in West Virginia schools
Charleston AP reports West Virginia is expected to lose about 6,000 students in coming years as the population declines. Since 1998 the state dropped 20,000 pupils with only a few Eastern Panhandle counties likely to gain in the near term due to proximity to Washington and Baltimore. Wheeling AP notes Weirton resident John Michael Liberto, 41, jailed again for lease violations after a bomb threat case from December 1996.
