Board hears report on special-education funding after Brooke County delegation’s visit to state House
Summary
Board members reported they met with the West Virginia House education subcommittee to discuss special-education funding and attendance; a one-page summary of severe-case costs for Brooke County was shared with the House education chair.
During director reports, Dr. Pauls told the board that she, Lori, Britney and Dedra visited the West Virginia House education subcommittee to discuss special-education funding and student attendance. She singled out Lori for representing Brooke County Schools by speaking in the House chamber about the district’s special-education costs.
The delegation provided the House education chair with a one-page summary that included examples of the district’s most severe special-education cases and the related costs to educate those students. Board members said the materials were well received and described the document as helpful in illustrating the county’s fiscal pressures related to special education.
No formal action was taken; the report was delivered as an informational item. The board later moved to routine business and scheduling.
