We have it on good authority that First Lady Denise Morrisey is FUMING that her husband is sharing a podium with Larry Pack today, a man she hates as she has expressed to more people than she should have.

@LarryPack @wvgovernor @RuckerforWV You seem so obsessed with the HOPE Voucher. Follow the money!

At the end of a House Education Committee meeting today, Chairman Joe Ellington announced a new chairman would be taking over, Delegate Joe Statler.

Ellington will be deputy speaker.

in the @WVHouse Education Committee, Delegate Joe Ellington announces he's stepping aside as chairman and Joe Statler will now be the chairman. This is Day 14 of the 60-day session, but hey things happen

@HoppyKercheval My grandparents were friends with Sara Jane’s parents, and they were good people. She was born in Charleston, WV in 1930. She was Sarah Jane Kahn back then.

Proud of the 3rd grade success act we passed a few years ago that’s helping lead to gains in literacy in WV!

New report by ⁦@CTULocal1⁩ -Charter schools have “failed to live up to the promises they made to families,” falling behind in standards for special education and English Language Learners.” https://t.co/BOHqanUiYM

[Bob Morgenstern @MorgyWV]

Yep, WV private schools receiving vouchers have not provided any evidence that they have improved educational outcomes or increased academic performance. WV leg refuses to ask for any accountability.

@RyanEQuinn Pitiful!

👍👍👍“Federal funding is not used to impose any curriculum or ideology—that’s actually not allowed by law—and those laws and norms shouldn’t be broken, regardless of who is president.” Read more @rweingarten @AFTunion at https://t.co/UkikRwVmDS

Sine die. Very little of very little.
How long until he vetoes the budget?

one of the wildest things I've ever witnessed here.

[Bob Morgenstern @MorgyWV]

3 years ago, WV rejected a constitutional amendment that would have given the legislature authority to review and approve the state BOE rules & policies intact. But the GOP led Senate passed a bill to remove that authority. A big F_ _ k You to WV voters. https://t.co/TwFPofoKkB

[Bob Morgenstern @MorgyWV]

Teachers in border counties such as Wayne will not see an increase in pay nor will our coal counties. This bill does nothing to address the teacher shortage & teacher migration out of WV. https://t.co/W6DmqRTAHr

[Viri Pettersen @mspetter]

@rweingarten Thank you, @rweingarten for speaking out on behalf of our kids, families and teachers. These cuts are disgusting and only serve the very rich. I'm proud to see our educators speaking up in advocating for students and programs, even though they're being viciously attacked.

WV Republicans, who won nearly every election in 2024, are focused on “election integrity” this session.

Democratic lawmakers say the bills, including absentee ballot restrictions, are motivated by conspiracy theories.

New from @LoriKerseyWV and me https://t.co/uTRDK959IQ

[Bob Morgenstern @MorgyWV]

80% of WV’s population lives in a border county. That’s means teachers can cross the border and earn more & receive better benefits. So, a salary increase based on housing costs takes in the wrong direction. https://t.co/sUN4fjDLUE
