Show Notes
In Randolph County, West Virginia, Superintendent Terry George is advocating for the school board to donate the soon-to-close Harman K through twelve school to the local Harman Education Association. The association aims to transform it into a micro-school or educational program, with ninety-six students currently enrolled. The school is set to close at the end of the 2025-2026 school year due to state-imposed emergency management over declining enrollment, excess staff, and financial issues. The board has already voted to close Harman and North Elementary. George sees this as a positive move for the community, keeping the building in use instead of vacant. The association is seeking nonprofit status to legitimize the transition. Students will transfer to Jennings Randolph Elementary, Elkins Middle, and Elkins High. The board will hold work sessions to discuss details and gather community input, with the next meeting scheduled for April 21st. This move could revitalize the area and demonstrate the countys commitment to education.
