West Virginia schools chief warns against complacency

Athens state schools superintendent Hank Marockie urged teachers to raise the bar and expand training after citing efforts by the Department of Education. He warned residents in rural areas of deadly school violence and described past incidents linked to access to weapons. He noted the Safe Schools Act allows expulsion for bringing guns or selling drugs at school. In Morgantown, WV, WVU professor Maryanne Reed won a Community History Award for a film on Jewish survival in Appalachia.
