WV Metro News | Thursday, January 9, 2025
The West Virginia Professional Charter School Board is preparing for new funding opportunities from the School Building Authority, following the passage of House Bill 227. This policy allows charter schools, including those in the Eastern Panhandle such as the Clarksburg Classical Academy and the Workforce Initiative Academy, to apply for funds to secure buildings essential for their operations. Board discussions have highlighted the ongoing challenges of startup costs as schools like M.E.C.C.A. Business Learning Institute plan to open in Berkeley County by 2025. The School Building Authority is set to consider funding requests with a deadline of January 17, with decisions to follow soon after, as reported by WV Metro News.
