WV Public Schools Not Graded this Year

Public schools in West Virginia will not be graded this year. The Board of Education yesterday agreed to rate schools on an A through F accountability system and will not determine grades for the 2016-17 school year. The change puts West Virginia in alignment with federal timelines that require an accountability system by the 2017-18 school year. Board members say they understand an accountability system is needed but they want to find the best system for the state.
