WVDE Policy 2460: West Virginia K-12 Acceptable Use Policy ("Safety and Acceptable Use of the Internet by Students and Educators") presented in sections. The full policy is online at http://wvde.state.wv.us/policies/p2460.html.
100% of public K-12 schools in West Virginia are connected to the Internet and nearly 98% of our classrooms are networked.
In 1994, Bell Atlantic-West Virginia (BA-WV; now Verizon-WV) offered Internet connections to nearly 700 schools in BA-WV territory which were already connected to the statewide administrative network (WVEIS). The program was known as the "Bell Atlantic WORLD SCHOOL Program." Two teachers from each school were provided training on the Internet by the West Virginia Department of Education, Office of Technology.
In 1996, Citizens Communications (now Frontier) offered an identical connection to all of the schools in their service territory - nearly 140 schools. Other smaller West Virginia telephone companies - Hardy Telephone, Armstrong Telephone, Spruce Knob Seneca Rocks Telephone, War Telephone, and West Side Telephone - also implemented a similar program to two dozen schools they serve. The Infomine Grant, SBA funds and E-rate discounts have helped with the purchase of routers and other equipment needed in these schools.
The WORLD SCHOOL program has been honored by the Computerworld Smithsonian Innovator Award program (1997), the NASIRE Technology Award program (1998) and the GII Next Generation Award program (1997).
