The Jefferson County Board of Education "meets requirements" for 2020-2021 as outlined in Policy 2322: West Virginia System of Support and Accountability

  • To “Meet Requirements,” all items must be completed by the Board of Education.
    Board agendas and minutes are public.

  • Once a month, board meeting agendas include discussion addressing one or more of the following: school performance, student outcomes, or academics with local school board goals and actions to improve student achievement and well-being. A random sample of 4 months will be used to verify.

  • Board of Education assesses their performance using statutorily required CBEM performance appraisal items and makes the results public.

  • The Board of Education meets with the LSIC of each school deemed to be low-performing and submits the details to the WVBE. (None of JCS schools are deemed "low performing" by the WVDE) 

  • Board of Education implements policy that provides for parent, family, business, and community involvement in the schools.
