CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — State lawmakers are holding a public hearing about the possibility of allowing public charter schools in West Virginia.
The House of Delegates is hosting the Education Committee hearing at 5 p.m. on Wednesday.
The newly minted Republican majority in the Legislature is pushing to make charter schools legal in the state. The GOP has taken control of both legislative chambers for the first time in more than eight decades.
The Center For Education Reform says only eight states don’t allow charter schools.
