State schools ordered to address issues in special session
Charleston AP The state Board of Education will meet in a special session Thursday to respond to a state Supreme Court order on the board's powers. The panel heard that the board will vote on issues the court required it to address and may appear in court on June 28.

The board also faces a separate ruling on immunity for county school boards in after hours injuries and is drafting legislation to address that.
