Kanawha County Board of Education Reviews

My honest rating is a negative 1 star, but since 1 star is the lowest I can rate, that's what they receive.
Now the reasons for my rating. KCBOE is a joke. The board makes decisions based off their PERSONAL needs or schedule and NOT what's in the BEST interest of the schools nor students. RON DURRING (however his name is spelled) is the BIGGEST clown of them all. He makes over $100,000 yearly, way over, yet our TEACHERS, the MOST IMPORTANT pillars in the education community, get pennies. KCBOE definitely keeps dropping the ball with their new policies and decisions. For instance, they decided that it makes sense for ALL elementary students start at the same time, ALL middle schools start at the same time, and same for ALL high schools. The PROBLEM with this decision is, Kanawha county does NOT have enough buses nor drivers to make this work, or did KCBOE forget that one bus is responsible for transporting students to and from multiple different schools; this is the case for most of Kanawha county buses!?!
They did away with 2 hour delays a couple years ago. I guess they didn't care if students could make it to school or that winter morning temperatures are often too cold for the kids to be out in. Let's NOT forget to mention the poor conditions of most of the schools in this country, even the newer ones are experiencing problems. If it isn't mold, it's the air conditioning. They would rather invest money into their own pockets than to invest it into the schools, equipment, students, or teachers.
The curriculum that they bound these teachers to follow is a joke but they are too ignorant to understand this is why this county's test scores are so low.
THIS PLACE IS THE WORST AND AN ABSOLUTE JOKE!!!

I like how they never answered for being responsible for Mr.Giles when he got caught,now I'm not racial but that man sure was and I am not the only person to ever call this office and demand that man be fired,well give enough rope ladies and gentlemen

I am a substitute teacher and need to get job numbers but the web page has been down for two days Did you change your address or something? It just opens to a blank page. This is aggravating.

The thing is, all the schools controlled by the board is awful. Kids don t want to do things that you all want them to do because it s overwhelming. Take it from me, I always feel like I m locked up and I can t go anywhere, I can t spen enough family time because the school hours are long. I go to school at 7:30 am, end of the day I get home at around 4:10 pm, around 9 hours away from home. I m so stressed because of your grading system, things that are too difficult for the grade like 7th grade is doing 9th grade stuff.
Thank you for making me feel like I m in an asylum.

What is Ron Duerring even appreciated and what has he ever done for my sentiment.

It is very cold in the schools and you all will not repair the heaters in the schools. Y all need to come sit in these schools for an hour with your big carhart and tell us how you feel, oh wait, you re not allowed to wear big carhart jackets you can only wear light jackets and hoodies.
