Consolidation debated to extend West Virginia schools
Improvements seek legislative backing for matching funds to build and equip consolidated schools and allow two or more counties to join in construction. Smith notes strong local opposition, fear of community life loss, but argues regional planning could improve facilities. West Virginia expects 447,500 pupils this year, up 1,500, with 1,000 first graders under new age rules and fewer dropouts. About 17,300 teachers, including 2,300 emergency or critical area, will teach, with 82 percent holding at least a BA, four points above the national average. Only about one third of annual college graduates stay in state to teach. more funds could attract and retain qualified teachers. The school year runs 180-185 days, with 3-5 holidays, and 190-200 paid days for various counties. summer ends with school out from May to mid-June.
