The Administration understands that allegations against a WCS school teacher were a topic on social media over the weekend and members of our community are understandably concerned. On February 29, 2024, shortly after being made aware of certain allegations against a high school teacher, the Administration suspended this employee indefinitely pending the outcome of several investigations by school officials, law enforcement, and DHHR. If and when any official disciplinary action is taken against the employee by the school board, it will be a matter of written public record. Until the investigations are completed and official action is taken, the Administration will not be able to provide further details.

Calendar update: In order to account for missed school days due to inclement weather, students will now attend school on May 31 as well as June 3 and 4. Preschool will attend May 28 and 29. For staff, June 5 will be a curriculum development day (students do not attend) and June 6 will be a day to prepare for the end of the school year (students do not attend).

The WVDE is conducting the Artificial Intelligence in Education: West Virginia Stakeholder Survey to gather input from the public and the community. Information from this survey will be used to guide future planning for resources and supports provided to West Virginia public schools, as well as inform potential policy considerations. The survey will be open for responses through March 6, 2024. https://wvde.us/ai/

IMPORTANT UPDATE: The Wood County Board of Education will meet in special session Monday, Feb. 12, 2024, to conduct candidate interviews and appoint an interim board member to a vacant seat. The board has consulted with the Wood County Prosecutor’s Office and the Wood County Clerk’s Office and has been advised, due to election cycle deadlines, a selection must be made by February 12, 2024. The online application period for those interested in applying for the interim position will close at 5 p.m. on Monday, February 12. The board meeting will begin at 5:30 p.m. to announce the candidates and interviews will begin at 6:00 p.m. An appointment announcement will follow the completion of the interviews on February 12. Those submitting an application by Sunday, February 11, will be informed of their interview time before 10:00 a.m. on Monday, February 12.
