She said staff have compiled a broad list of potential committee members, are contacting people about chair and co-chair roles and will convene meetings to set a schedule from now until the election. \"She'll be inviting them to our meetings, as we get those scheduled,\" the superintendent said, noting Teresa is working to establish contact points for outreach.
Board members praised community events supporting schools, including cafeteria renovations at Morgantown High and a ribbon-cutting for a new ice rink. Members said the county has strong community participation at fall extracurricular activities.
Several board members raised transportation concerns after an unplanned road closure on Dorsey Avenue forced cancellation of bus runs. A board member said the closure led to cancelled bus runs and that some students did not get to school. Board members asked utilities and contractors to notify the district transportation director in advance for scheduled maintenance so bus routes can be rerouted; they identified Mountain Line and local contractors as partners to coordinate with.
The board also noted upcoming community events — the county fair, art walk and a car show — and encouraged public attendance. No formal votes were associated with the update; board members said they will continue outreach and coordinate logistics for transportation and community engagement.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Monongalia County Board of Education meeting 9/9/2025","oneSentenceSummary","Superintendent and board members described plans to form an excess-levy committee and outreach schedule ahead of a May election; board members also reported community events and asked utilities and agencies to notify the transportation director before road work after a Dorsey Avenue closure canceled bus runs.","taxTitle","MONONGALIA COUNTY SCHOOLS, School Districts, West Virginia","taxId",13061,"location","West Virginia","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_46":81,"_48":82,"_50":83,"_52":84,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":85,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":86,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":71,"_72":73,"_74":73},5986234,"Board waives first reading, advances policy on critical-need substitute bus operators",190,2176000,2366000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5766376-51b9fc0926b3103b5f7ed7934ab93ec2&start=2176&end=2366","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5766376-51b9fc0926b3103b5f7ed7934ab93ec2/thumbnail_2176000.jpg","/articles/5986234/West-Virginia/Board-waives-first-reading-advances-policy-on-critical-need-substitute-bus-operators","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/5986234-0a087fb918d16b71ac2fc1d9b88b4380/orig.mp4?Expires=1776029029&Signature=SwO-q-~Omt4PXibs9TERsg1juScUmpn0Qe4oi1OqhSVQF6iw10Dv-RfJ8mkYL2Zxdqk3L-gdeGw~t~Q8Dh8C2iRRCecVpGmR~Hvuf84VaSV5VsNEty3LFgmiAqztN13wVGA7A9~0epym88Kt2ACT2yrGAQm4-0waWeTHwQd1bHV808CD8UhLoDnChEJy0uinijd7hs1iCn5YCKITZ6OC-IJvOcBDvJUM6WBVloRWrx1COlWHfZ01SYDW~uzf9HSugJ~V6th8H-~P-PnScDp11oM7YtIg2KxuBJRR-ZZ4J7we-HeXI-XfRmmMJXwCvAjF8x2pHhpn6Cd0KEmV8IX~cQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The board voted on Sept. 9 to waive the first reading and advance policy 41 20.12, titled \"areas of critical need and shortage for substitute bus operators,\" for second reading and adoption.

Crawford said Mont County saw a 3 percent increase in both reading and math and a 4 percent increase in science from the previous school year. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, she reported an 8 percent increase in math, 7 percent in reading and 5 percent in science.
Those gains contributed to Mont County earning a national \"dynamic district\" designation from Upswing Labs for districts demonstrating a minimum 3 percent average annual increase in third-grade reading proficiency; Upswing identified roughly 260 districts nationwide and nine in West Virginia, Crawford said.
On the SAT school day, Crawford reported that 66 percent of juniors were predicted to earn a passing grade in entry-level college English, 33 percent met the math benchmark and 33 percent met both benchmarks. She also noted that Mont County eleventh graders ranked highest in West Virginia on SAT school day reading and mathematics.
Crawford highlighted college-credit and scholarship indicators: 58 percent of SAT school-day test takers (445 students) met at least one SAT indicator for the West Virginia Promise Scholarship; 245 students were eligible for the Promise Scholarship based on test scores alone, and 41 students met two indicators.
The district's Advanced Placement program administered 1,566 AP exams across more than 32 subjects with 48 AP teachers; Mont County reported an 83 percent pass rate (scores of 3–5), above the global 71 percent and the West Virginia rate of 65 percent, Crawford said. College Board-supplied figures estimate student savings of about $414,000 in tuition based on an average of $320 per credit hour and roughly 3,880 college credit hours potentially earned.
Crawford said assessment data came from the West Virginia ACCESS/Cambium platform and the College Board for AP and SAT details. She told the board families can access score reports via the Cambium family portal and that the county will publish balanced scorecard indicators around the next State Board meeting on Oct. 8.
Board members asked about charter school data; Crawford replied that public school results, including charter schools, are available on the state’s \"WVa. Access\"/WVDH dashboard and the College Board site for SAT/AP details.
The presentation concluded with Crawford outlining upcoming county testing windows and that staff will notify families and set local administration schedules.","Director of assessment Courtney Crawford told the Monongalia County Board of Education on Sept. 9 that district students posted year-over-year and pandemic-era gains in reading, math and science, with high AP pass rates and notable SAT school-day results; the district earned a national \"dynamic district\" designation for reading growth.","actionData","errors"]
