Superintendent of Lincoln County Schools (LCS) Jeff Kelley, Lincoln County Board of Education (LCBOE) President David Bell, and West Virginia Department of Education (WVDE) staff were in front of the West Virginia State Board of Education today talking about the State of Emergency in LCS. Mr. Kelley updated state board members on the progress LCS has made during the last two years.
After hearing the presentation, state board members noted there has been “impressive growth” over the last two years, specifically in the special education department of LCS.
The state board went into an executive session, and then voted to extend the State of Emergency in LCS for six months. Board members said their reasoning to continue to the State of Emergency is so the WVDE can continue to provide support to the LCBOE and LCS.
What is the State of Emergency?
The State of Emergency allows decisions for LCS to continue to be made at the county level by the LCBOE, Superintendent Kelley, and LCS Staff. It is not a state takeover. The State of Emergency does allow the WVDE to lend support and guidance to the county.
A breakdown of the $5-million in funding that was approved at the board meeting.
$3-million to fund the county portion of the SBA match to construct a new Duval/Midway PK-8.
$2-million for the construction of an athletic facility at LCHS.
