Uriah Cummings, State Financial Officer of the WV Board of Education, and Jeff Davis of Educational Consultants, stood before the Hancock County Board of Education and a large public crowd to find out what had caused the financial crisis in the County school system that resulted in the State taking over.
The answer was clear. The Board had spent money they did not have, even taking our a lease to own to provide Oak Glen Softball and Baseball field turf and lights. The lease/loan was passed by the board at it’s May meeting and signed May 28, 2025 by then Superintendent Dan Enich and Board President Chris Gillette.
