Register-Herald Article on Education in this Year's Legislative Session

Education has been a hot topic during the last two years of West Virginia's legislative sessions. With teacher strikes two consecutive years, legislators have passed along back-to-back 5 percent pay raises.

But there has not been as much talk in the lead up to this year's session about issues specific to education reform or teacher pay.

This year, people on both sides of political divide say they just want to work towards a common goal — making education better for the students in West Virginia.
