As we continued to review and refine our estimated funds available for renovations to our existing facilities, we determined that we will not be able to fund our portion of the money necessary to renovate Buckhannon Academy to accommodate the students from Tennerton Elementary School, even if we were fortunate enough to obtain partial funding from the School Building Authority. As such, we will not be recommending the closure of Tennerton Elementary School at this time, and the hearings scheduled for November 17 are cancelled.

🚨 STOP MEANS STOP 🚨
Several drivers have been caught running the stop sign on our school buses so far this year. This isn’t just illegal—it’s dangerous.

When a school bus turns on red lights and extends its stop arm, children are loading or unloading. Passing a stopped bus puts lives at risk.

🛑 It’s not worth the risk.
🛑 It’s not worth the ticket.
🛑 It’s not worth a life.

Let’s protect our students. Stop for the bus. Every time. Upshur County Schools transportation staff reports all drivers who violate this law.

📢 Important Update from the West Virginia Board of Education - Please review the official statement regarding vaccine compliance requirements for students across the state. 📄 View the full statement in the attached image.
4 months ago, Upshur County Schools
West Virginia Board of Education Issues Statement on Vaccine Compliance During the June meeting of the West Virginia Board of Education (WVBE), members voted unanimously to comply with state law regarding required school immunizations as it is written in W. Va. Code 16-3-4. The WVBE directed State Superintendent of Schools to notify all school districts to follow the law that has been in effect since 1937. This is in line with the actions of the West Virginia Legislature during the 2025 Regular Session which did not vote in favor of religious exemptions for vaccines. The intent of the State Board is to do what is best for the 241,000 children, 23,000 educators, and 15,000 service personnel in 629 public schools. This includes taking the important steps of protecting the school community from the real risk of exposure to litigation that could result from not following vaccination laws. This Board is constitutionally bound to provide a thorough and efficient system of free schools, and our members remain committed to this charge.
What do teachers do in the summer? They work toward building a stronger better rigorous cirriculum through course design! Teachers have been pacing units, analyzing data and priority standards, and mapping the instruction for the school year during the work sessions. There was wonderful representation from all grade levels each day. Thank you to all teachers who came out and worked hard to ensure that all of our students receive what they need during the 25/26 school year!
