HUNTINGTON â The Cabell County Board of Education on Tuesday voted to return to school on a three-day blended model, delaying a return to five-day, in-person instruction until all willing employees have received the COVID-19 vaccine.
A similar situation played out in Wayne County, where Board of Education members on Tuesday voted to follow a blended learning model that will include two days of in-person learning and two days of virtual instruction beginning Jan. 19.
For more than two hours, Cabell County board members and the superintendent heard public comment regarding the decision to return to in-person learning in Cabell County.
The delegations period at BOE meetings is typically restricted to 30 minutes, but the board voted to extend that period in order to hear from all individuals who had signed up to speak.

The composting facility will be the first commercial facility in West Virginia and the second largest university-run facility in the country behind Ohio University.
