Changes Approved For Deaf And Blind Schools
WEST VIRGINIA....
An effort is under way to improve the West Virginia Schools for the Deaf and Blind’s curriculum and operations. The West Virginia Board of Education approved several recommendations for the Romney school on Wednesday. They include forming a partnership with the Hampshire County school system to identify programs and services that could be shared. The school also will seek accreditation from the Conference of Educational Administrators of Schools for the Deaf. The changes are based on an audit conducted earlier this year by the Office of Educational Performance Audits. Director Kenna Seal said in his report that auditors were concerned about the quality of the school’s curriculum.
