In West Virginia, public school funding at center of midterm firestorm

As more public schools in West Virginia face closures or cuts to staff and programs, school funding has emerged as a central issue in the upcoming midterm election. Across the state, counties are struggling with reduced staff, low teacher pay and trouble recruiting and retaining special education staff. Sarah Harris, a parent with three children with special education needs in Putnam County Schools, said the state currently has a $180 million deficit for special education.

Harris believes the cuts threaten the future of after-school and preschool programs assisting working families, along with English language learning and other programs supporting the most vulnerable student populations. She stressed voters in the midterm election want their local public schools to succeed. “The federal dollars fund essential programs like school meals. They fund
