The West Virginia Board of Education establishes a process for improving education that includes standards, assessment, accountability, and capacity building to provide assurances that a thorough and efficient system of schools is being provided for all West Virginia public school students on an equal education opportunity basis and that the high quality standards are, at a minimum, being met. This requires the provision of an adequate level of appropriately managed resources.

It is the intent of the Board to annually attain full approval for the County and full accreditation for each of its schools.

The Board and its schools are accredited on the basis of criteria established by Annual Performance Measures for Determining Adequate Yearly Progress. If the county or school fails to meet full approval or full accreditation by date certain and the West Virginia State Board of Education determines the performance and progress of the county and/or school are persistently below standards, or the West Virginia State Board of Education declares extraordinary circumstances exists, an on-site team will assess the county’s or a school’s compliance and progress with the high quality standards and performance measures.

The Superintendent will establish administrative guidelines that are consistent with the State developed Annual Performance Measures for Determining Adequate Yearly Progress.
