Cheers to members of the Marion County Board of Education for speaking candidly during their remote meeting with State School Superintendent Clayton Burch regarding the state mandate to return students back to in-person learning while COVID-19 pandemic continues to govern everyday life.
Jeers to West Virginia State School Superintendent Clayton Burch for strong-arming the Marion County Board of Education into adopting the stateâs plan to have students return to in-person learning even if the stateâs COVID map shows a county is red or orange. Previously, red or orange called for remote learning. Maybe itâs time to wise up and kill the COVID map since it appears to no longer have any sway.

FAIRMONT â An abandoned storefront in the Meadowbrook Mall will soon be transformed into a COVID-19 vaccination mega-site.
WVU Medicine United Hospital Center, in conjunction with the Harrison County Health Department and Community Care of West Virginia, will open the former Elder-Beerman clothing store near Target on Feb. 10 where potentially thousands of doses of vaccines can be administered per day.
âThe hospital works closely with all the local health departments,â said Michael Tillman, president and CEO of UHC. âThe health departments and UHC wanted to have the capability to do large numbers of vaccines should we have that available. If you donât plan now and it becomes available, youâre sitting there without a plan.â
FAIRMONT — WVU Medicine will be adding 65 new staff positions at its Fairmont Medical Center campus along with enough beds to house 42 patients due to the strain COVID-19
