CHARLESTON, WV: "A judge on Monday temporarily blocked public charter schools from being implemented in West Virginia. Kanawha County Circuit Judge Jennifer Bailey granted a preliminary injunction sought by parents in a lawsuit filed against Governor Jim Justice and leaders of the House of Delegates and state Senate, news outlets reported. The plaintiffs claim residents should be able to weigh in on any charter school established in their county. They are challenging the authority of the Professional Charter Schools Board, whose members are appointed by the governor. The board last month approved charter schools in Morgantown, Nitro and Jefferson County, along with two online charter schools. Attorney General Patrick Morrisey said he plans to appeal the ruling to the state Supreme Court."
