Introducing West Virginians for Education Reform

 

West Virginians for Education Reform (WVER) was established in 2009 to encourage innovation, change and choice in the West Virginia public education system.  WVER is promoting charter school legislation in the upcoming legislative session. 

Public charter schools are independent, tuition-free public schools. In exchange for more freedom to innovate, they are held accountable for student achievement. They create an environment in which parents are involved, teachers innovate and students learn.

 It is time to bring public charter schools to West Virginia.

 For Teachers, it’s about the freedom to be better. Entrepreneurial, innovative teachers are empowered by the freedom to try new learning methods and new ideas.   For Students, it’s about a second chance, a smaller school, more personal attention, a better fit, or a passion for a particular subject. It is about the joy of learning.  For the Community, it’s about strengthening schools and neighborhoods, working together for quality schools and holding them accountable. It is about partnership with business, nonprofits, and community organizations to help children reach their full potential.

 We are asking all West Virginians to stand with us and promote public choice and charter schools in West Virginia.  Please take a look around our site www.wvedreform.com and tell us what you think.
