Seven charter schools want permission to open in West Virginia. Charter school board chairman Adam Kissel said this week they include three statewide online schools that would serve kindergarten through 12th grades, and four brick-and-mortar charter schools. The Charleston Gazette-Mail reported the state board has 90 days to rule on the applications. If the board doesn’t act, the schools would automatically be approved to open as soon as next fall. State law allows for two virtual statewide charter schools and the third would be part of a private international company. A brick-and-mortar charter is proposed in Nitro.
