The West Virginia Board of Education has approved an amendment to the facility plans for the West Virginia School For the Deaf and Blind. The plans are for needed projects for the remainder of the 2020-2030 Comprehensive Educational Facilities Plan. The Administration Building in Romney was destroyed by fire in February, and the plan includes the construction of a memorial, in honor of the building. The amendments also include a plan change in facilities for student housing, necessary demolition work, fire safety improvements and other needs. The Board stated that the changes will improve campus safety, the overall student experience and the operational efficiency of the school.
