West Virginia Schools for the Deaf & the Blind

Explore West Virginia's 64 local education agencies — the 55 county school systems, seven public charter schools, the WV Schools of Diversion & Transition and the WV Schools for the Deaf & the Blind — with original West Virginia Department of Education (WVDE), State Auditor, State Tax Department, federal Civil Rights Data Collection and NCES sources. Directory identities are from NCES 2024–25, joined to WVDE by WVDE's own district code; not a current operating-status certification. West Virginia's county boards of education levy the school property tax in three layers, from the State Auditor's levy tables for tax years 2016 to 2025: the regular levy, which the Legislature sets for every county (19.40¢ per $100 of assessed value on Class I property) and which is shown as the state rate, never compared across counties; the excess levy, approved by a majority of the county's voters for up to five years and capped at 22.95¢ on Class I; and any voter-approved bond levy. A rate is not a bill, and no bill is estimated. The line-item budget is the county board's proposed budget as reported to WVDE (WVEIS SF000001, fiscal years 2009 to 2027), labelled proposed, never spending; actual spending per pupil is WVDE's ESSA report (FY2022, FY2024 and FY2025). Salaries are WVDE's published average contracted salaries for teachers, principals and assistant principals with their FTE, and every county superintendent's salary and contract, one position each, named by its title; the certified list of personnel gives FTE and total wages by position, with no names. Students, WVGSA proficiency by grade and student group, and graduation come from ZoomWV; the share of students directly certified is not free or reduced-price lunch. Advanced Placement, dual enrollment and suspensions are federal CRDC 2023–24. WVDE's chronic-absence figure is withheld until its definition is confirmed. Charters and the two state-operated agencies levy no tax and are not in the county salary and budget reports; their pages say so. Withheld figures do not mean zero.
