W.Va. schools face yet another threat

Already pressed to retool the state's school aid formula and carve out extra funding for teacher pay raises, the Legislature now faces the potential loss of $2 million to West Virginia's education system after a federal rural aid program expired last year.

(Props to Associated Press bureau-mate Shaya Tayefe Mohajer, whose look at the possible national impact got great "play," as we say. Besides a prominent place on the front page of the Sunday Gazette-Mail, her article also made the "A" section of the Sunday New York Times.)
