## Resource

West Virginia’s public schools are in crisis as an outdated funding formula from the 1980s fails to meet today’s needs, with 5,000 students leaving the system since 2025 and 8-10 schools poised to close. Governor Morrisey is pushing lawmakers to act, calling for smarter funding that prioritizes special education districts, boosts teacher pay, and cuts bloated admin costs—despite a costly study’s recommendations going unheeded. The state’s future hinges on bold, timely reform.
