WV Superintendent Calls Local Bond Funds For School Upgrades
West Virginia Superintendent Daniel A Taylor says Monongalia Preston and Taylor counties must raise local funds to receive their share of a 200 million Better School Starts fund. He notes a comprehensive plan is legally required and voters last year rejected bond issues, leaving local participation essential to update facilities and education programs. The counties had submitted plans approved by the state board, but without local backing they cannot proceed.
