West Virginia State superintendent candidates

Davin White:

Deputy State Schools Superintendent Jorea Marple believes pre-kindergarten through 12th-grade education in West Virginia has reached a pivotal point, and the state's current direction for schools is just beginning to show benefits.

Mark Manchin, executive director of the state School Building Authority, wants to develop policies that help provide a "high-quality, 21st Century education" for children. He also promises to help support teachers and school administrators, provide safe and up-to-date school buildings and work with state lawmakers and the governor to ensure the state Board of Education's agenda is advanced.

Carolyn Long, chairwoman of the West Virginia University Board of Governors, believes her experience in both higher education and other public schools could help bring "these two cultures together" to serve the needs of West Virginia.
