Evaluating Team Witnesses Fire Drill at Itmann Elementary
An evaluating team observing a Monday fire drill at Itmann Elementary School noted a calm orderly evacuation of 325 students and staff in 50 seconds. The visit did not affect scoring but affirmed the school's first class model rating across standards for principals and teachers, instruction leadership, organization and administration, equipment, community and plant facilities. The panel included Dewey Bone, Galen Duling, Kelly Sizemore, George Nolley, and Rennie Hatfield from several county education bodies.

State Needs Big Tax Boost To Lift Schools To National Average
West Virginia must raise 39 to 35 million dollars more yearly from state taxes to lift school support to the national average, per a West Virginia Education Association presentation to the State Tax Study Commission. The WVEA urged broader wealth capture and a reassessment driven property tax overhaul, estimating an extra 12 million dollars for schools with full non-utility property reappraisal, potentially doubling to about 24 million dollars.
