During this week’s West Virginia Board of Education meeting, it was announced Michelle Stellato would take over as the superintendent of Roane County Schools after an investigation revealed overspending, the underuse of buildings and staffing issues. Stellato has served as the assistant superintendent for the past two years. Eyewitness News said some of the key findings in the report include a 45% building utilization rate, $600,000 of overspending on special education and an estimated budget deficit of $2.5 million for the 2025 fiscal year. State leaders said they’ll be keeping a close eye on Roane County to make sure these issues are resolved.
