Proposed changes to Policy 2510, Assuring Quality of Education: Regulations for Education Programs reflect the first phase of revisions to occur over the next 12 months. Revisions include the elimination of time constraints for teaching particular subjects at the elementary and middle school level; remove expired graduation requirements; condense current graduation requirements into one cohesive set; and other minor provisions.
Updated to Policy 2525, West Virginia’s Universal Access to a Quality Early Education System have been made to address the continuous quality improvement of West Virginia's Universal Pre-K system. The proposed revisions target three key areas, including continued collaboration of community partners to strengthen universal enrollment processes, the approval process for comprehensive pre-k curricula, and the revision of the current program assessmentand continuous quality improvement procedures for the county collaborative early childhood team
Updates to Policy 2340, West Virginia Measures of Academic Progress reflect the new name of the office and will change to lower case the names of positions, such as county test coordinator, when used within general text and replace "one year" with "academic year" in the appendices.
