CALHOUN SCHOOLS STILL ON FINANCIAL WATCH LIST

(01/27/2020)

Seven WV county school systems remain on the West Virginia Department of Education's Financial Watch List which was created in 2014. Calhoun Schools remains on the list, initially saying the school system had a $1,800,000 deficit. The county has been able to eliminate about $800,000 of that deficit. Calhoun Superintendent of Schools Kelli Whytsell said the county has had to make numerous adjustments and serious efforts to bring down the deficit. According to Christ Day, coordinator of the WVDE Office of Communications, Randolph Schools is the only county removed from the list, leaving seven others; Brooke, Calhoun, Grant, Greenbrier, Pendleton, Upshur and Webster counties. County school officials that are on the list are required to send monthly spending reports to the state office, working toward meeting state standards.
