Mercer County Education Association officers election protested
Several Mercer County teachers plan to protest the MCEA 1981-82 officer election. They seek a new vote by WVEA officials, citing three issues: ballots mishandled by a county elections committee member, names written on envelope exteriors, and votes from teachers who did not place names on envelopes being excluded.

Mercer County MCEA election draws more interest this year
Barbara Hawkins notes heightened public focus on MCEA due to teachers' issues and salary concerns. Ballots were mailed last Monday with tomorrow as the deadline, while protests aim to prompt action via WVEA this weekend. The Fourth Annual Curriculum Fair at Brushfork Armory showcased over 1,000 projects from 35 schools, with some fearing it may end after this year. Public hearings on budgets are planned by the County Commission and Board of Education for Monday at 7:30 p.m. The Chamber of Commerce and Rotary Club will host the High School Symposium on April 15 at the Princeton Holiday Inn.
