McDowell teachers drop suit against West Virginia board
A group of McDowell County Education Association members has reached a dismissal agreement with the West Virginia State Board of Education in Kanawha County Circuit Court. The accord preserves a 7.5 hour workday during state intervention, reinstates a prior personal-leave policy, and restores an inclement weather policy, while agreeing not to pursue back pay. The teachers had sued over alleged extended hours and snow-day changes enacted by School Superintendent Dr. Mark Manchin and the state department.
