Currently, the WVDE has not released any type of waiver application. We want to explain how the process actually works. The West Virginia Department of Education (WVDE) is closely monitoring winter weather impacts across the state. Once storms have fully passed and instructional losses can be accurately assessed, WVDE will determine whether a waiver process will be made available to counties. Under WV Code §18-5-45, the State Superintendent may reduce the required instructional term only for counties declared a federal disaster area or under a Governor-declared emergency when the emergency is directly related to lost instructional days. In short: • Waiver applications are only available once the WVDE and State Superintendent have deemed them necessary. • Counties may apply for a waiver when and if that occurs. • After a waiver is submitted, approval is determined by the WVDE and State Superintendent. We appreciate everyone's patience as we follow state law and guidance. We'll share updates as soon as new information is provided by WVDE.
