Listen

On this West Virginia Morning, we discuss the role education has played in this year’s legislative session, from proposed teacher pay bumps to bills addressing student discipline.

News Director Eric Douglas caught up with Dale Lee, president of the West Virginia Education Association, to discuss how legislation currently under consideration could impact the state’s educators.

Also in this episode, Justin Hicks with Kentucky Public Radio walks us through possible risks to mine safety caused by dual efforts to cut federal spending and boost mineral production from President Donald Trump.
