Controversy over school consolidations continues in counties
Pennsboro residents led by Donnell McCullough urged selecting a neutral site for consolidation and supporting the bond only if funds go to a new school. The board approved plans to close Granville Elementary in Monongalia and reassign Grant Elementary students in Kanawha. West Luttes and Washington closures in Kanawha were not discussed pending Judge Hey’s ruling. The board also withheld state aid for failure to meet 180 days of instruction and ordered Putnam to justify weather-day makeups. Cassady defended the plan as cost saving and predicted public hearings would not derail it.
