West Virginia bill advances charter schools and pay raise
West Virginia lawmakers push the Student Success Act to introduce charter schools with local boards as authorizers and a 5 percent teacher pay raise. The plan includes studies on class size, innovation zones, subject scholarships, and expansion of Mountaineer Challenge Academy to Fayette County, while omitting ESAs. Support comes from business groups, though critics warn the public rejects charters and oppose reallocating funds. The Senate eyes Saturday action with House session set for Monday June 17.
