Full Integration Urged in West Virginia Schools
The West Virginia Board of Education urged counties with segregated schools to adopt plans for full integration and comply with state and federal laws. A minority resolution argued the board lacks power to compel local action. The NAACP supported stronger action while the state human rights commission called for decisive policy. The board also approved a revised statewide testing plan allowing flexibility in grade testing with annual requirements. Final plans for a $1.4 million health and physical education building at West Virginia Tech were approved, with bids to open December 8.
