will be released to all appropriate media and will be posted in a prominent
place accessible to the public on the OEPA website.
12.2.c. School System. The county
superintendent of schools will report school performance level grades and the
school system approval rating to the county board of education during a county
board of education meeting within 60 days of WVBE action regarding status. This

potential implications for school system planning. The school and school system
ratings will be posted in a prominent place accessible to the public.
12.2.d. Schools. The principal will
communicate the school performance level designation to the school faculty
senate and LSIC, including applicable parent organizations, during the next
regular meeting of each entity after WVBE approval of the rating. This report

implications for school strategic planning. The school accreditation level will
be posted in a prominent place accessible to the public.
