Letter of Transmittal West Virginia Advisory Committee to the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights Members of the Commission Mary Frances Berry, Chairperson Cruz Reynoso, Vice Chairperson Jennifer C. Braceras Christopher Edley, Jr. Peter N. Kirsanow Elsie M. Meeks Russell G. Redenbaugh Abigail Thernstrom Les Jin, Staff Director The West Virginia Advisory Committee submits this report, Civil Rights Issues in West Virginia, as part of its responsibility to advise the Commission on civil rights issues in the state The Committee approved this report in a vote of 11 to 0, with no abstentions. Since the early 1990s, the Committee has observed a general stagnation of civil rights progress. Over the years, the Committee has noted news reports and received personal accounts that reveal persistent mistreatment of minorities by law enforcement officials, racially motivated acts of violence, harassment of minorities in schools and workplaces, and barriers to people with disabilities in education and employment. Its reports, Police-Community Relations in Southern West Virginia (1993) and Rising Racial Tensions in Logan County, West Virginia

Home News Weather Sports ... Contact Us Search the site: West Virginia House Bill Would Cut Chancellor Salary from WTRF.com...Taking the Lead The Higher Education Policy Commission chancellor could see his salary drastically slashed by more than $100,000 under a bill endorsed by the House Education Committee. Chancellor J. Michael Mullen's $252,000 salary would be replaced by a salary of just over $146,000. The lower amount is the maximum salary of the state public schools superintendent. House Education Chairman Jerry Mezzatesta says it doesn't not make sense to have two education leaders with such different salaries. The bill also would require commission staff salaries to be no more than 75 percent of the chancellor's salary and no more than ten percent higher than the highest paid employee of the state Department of Education. The bill also would add the chief executive officer of the West Virginia Business Roundtable and another roundtable representative to the commission. Mullen referred questions about the bill to commission chancellor Tom Jones, who was unavailable for comment. ONLINE POLL What is your favorite subject?

PLEASE READ BEFORE GOING FURTHER The HEM staff has been considering pulling these listings. The main reason is that as homeschooling becomes more widely accepted, and as states are scrambling to reform their education system, the situation becomes more complex. This makes overviews, listings and rankings less valid. We have, however, decided to keep these listings in place because they carry, at a minimum, a link to your state government. Additionally we hope reading cited code and at least one homeschooler's interpretation will help start to demystify legislation and encourage you to investigate further. When talking to new homeschoolers we often hear concerns about the law. Is homeschooling legal? Who do I have to notify? What do I have to teach? While the legalities are a concern that should not be ignored, neither should our response be automatic and not thought out carefully. There is no single source, no one true homeschooling authority. We all own the responsibility to think through laws and regulations on homeschooling. Of course you'll find those who disagree - an entire industry has grown up around the fact that there are differences of opinion on homeschooling's legal matters. What we offer here are overviews of laws and regulations compiled by knowledgeable homeschoolers. These files are not legal advice nor the final word on the subject. They are simply a starting point. To maintain our freedom to homeschool we will each need to go far beyond any convenient compilation or synopsis. We need to continue to do our own learning, lead our own research, and decide on our own actions.
