The Mineral County Board of Education unanimously voted to approve the highly publicized and controversial home school policy which states that home school student who enrolls in more than 50 percent of classes is to be considered a full-time student and lose home school status.
This motion of approval was accepted after the policy was available for review and public comment during a two week period in which only eight individuals submitted their thoughts on the course of action.
Superintendent of Mineral County Schools Skip Hackworth shared some minor changes to the policy which included markings to more accurately distinguish between state code and what is pertinent to Mineral County, a homeroom enrollment misunderstanding that was more clearly defined, and the removal of the last paragraph which outlined how the board would accept credits from home schooled students.
Under the counsel of Karen Larry Executive Assistant to the State Superintendent of the West Virginia Department of Education, Hackworth recommended that a separate policy be created for the acceptance of credits among home school students.
For the full story of the Mineral County Board of Education’s decision to accept the new home school policy, pick up Thursday’s edition of the Mineral Daily News-Tribune.
