West Virginia to have New School Superintendent as Burch Transferred to State School for Deaf and Blind
By Connect-Bridgeport Staff on August 10, 2022 via Connect-Bridgeport.com
According to MetroNews, the state Board of Education has chosen state School Building Authority Executive Director David Roach as the next state Superintendent of Schools.
Roach replaces Clayton Burch who, at his request, is being transferred to be the superintendent for the West Virginia Schools for the Deaf and Blind in Romney.
Both moves take effect Wednesday.
State Board President Paul Hardesty said the state BOE chose to make a quick but solid decision on Burch’s replacement. He says Roach is a top-flight educator.
“Look at the gentlemen’s qualifications, first and foremost, and see if this board made a prudent, wise decision. His qualifications are impeccable. They are second to no one and he can hit the ground running,” Hardesty said.
Roach has served as superintendent in past years in Cabell, Wayne, Mingo and Lincoln counties.
