Secretary: Jacqueline Jackson. The Huntington Work/Study Release Center is a community-based correctional facility operated by the Division of Corrections, which is an agency under the Department of Military Affairs and Public Safety. Huntington Work/Study Release Center houses both male and female offenders with a capacity to house approximately 66 inmates. Inmates are carefully screened through a risk assessment classification method for participation in the work release program. The program’s primary objective is to assist the inmate in making a successful transition from incarceration to the community. This is accomplished by providing them an opportunity to take advantage of educational/vocational and work programs within the community. As they are gradually readjusting, the program’s intent is to reduce anxieties and frustrations often associated with immediate release back into society. Offenders become responsible for themselves and are less of a burden to West Virginia taxpayers while at work release. They are required to pay rent, medical expenses, child support, restitution and any fines they’ve incurred. They are also required to give back to the community by performing a minimum of 80 hours of community service work. Once community service is completed, inmates are permitted to seek employment in the local job market. Due to the demands of taking responsibility; meaningful employment is of primary importance, assuring the offender a successful work release experience.

    FOR RELEASE MAY 31, 2011 PRESS CONTACT: Amber Oliver, World Wide Workshop Foundation, 1-917-330-4223 [email protected] Globaloria Students Demonstrate Tomorrow’s Skills to Today’s Education Leaders Charleston, WV (May 31, 2011): A group of middle school and high school students and their teachers demonstrated the power of digital self-learning and tech-empowered teaching to help re-think and re-set educational priorities at the Department of Education at the State Capital today. Representing three of the 43 schools and 17 counties currently participating in Globaloria across the state, these students showed West Virginia’s education leaders and policymakers the original videogames they had conceived and built during the school year on the Globaloria learning network. Their teachers demonstrated their lesson plans for original “blended learning” and how they integrate digital curricula within their ongoing classroom work. “Globaloria is stimulating the best activities among our teachers. It kindles a passion for change and stimulates their entrepreneurial spirit to dare and try new things in their classrooms,” said Denise Stalnaker, the Globaloria WV State Manager who was a pioneering Globaloria educator and mentor to other educators, and who ran one of the first Globaloria pilot classes in Randolph County in 2007. Additionally, one county superintendent, Wilma Zigmond of Logan County, remarked how excited she is by the fact that all six schools in her county “have been practicing the Globaloria educational innovation through

  • Chronology of Women in the West Virginia Legislature
    Chronology Wof men in the West Virginia Legislature 1922-2020 West Virginia Legislature’s Office of Reference & Information, Joint Committee on Government & Finance. 2019. Chronology of Women IN THE West Virginia Legislature When the first woman was elected to office in the mountain state in 1922, West Virginia couldn’t have prepared for the unstoppable force that would become the female politicians the state has to offer. Since Mrs. Anna Gates’s election as a Delegate in 1922, hundreds of empowered women from all over the state have won elections and held a seat in the statehouse, where they helped to craft the policies that have shaped West Virginia for decades. Without the courage and stamina of these women to challenge the men who occupied these seats and hold their own on the chamber floors, West Virginia would look drastically different today. This extensive Chronology of Women in the West Virginia Legislature helps to commemorate the legacies of the hard-working and powerful women who overcame societal expectations to make a difference in the state that they loved and called home.

On September 2, 1999, the U.S. District Court of Connecticut, 3:97CV1012 (1999) decided a case in which the plaintiff was denied the opportunity to become a police officer based on his score on a written exam. As part of the application process the plaintiff, Robert Jordan, took a written exam for the position of entry level police officer. One component of the written exam was the Wonderlic Personnel Test ("WPT") and Scholastic Level Exam. Wonderlic's User's Manual suggests a range of 20-27 for consideration as a patrol officer, and the City of New London followed that recommendation. Jordan scored a 33 on the exam, too high for consideration as a police officer. Subsequent to notification of his ineligibility for the position of police officer due to his high test score, Jordan filed suit against the City of New London. Jordan contended there was a "violation of the Equal Protection Clauses of the United States and Connecticut constitutions stemming from the defendants' hiring practice". In deciding the basis on which the claim was to be judged, the court drew upon Schweiker v.

The Culture Center features the West Virginia State Museum, the West Virginia Archives, and various art and special collections exhibitions. Since that opening, one of the most popular collections has been the First Ladies Doll Collection. Commissioned initially by the West Virginia Federation of Women’s Clubs, the collection is exhibited on the balcony. The collection features 35 exquisite ceramic dolls and some of the elegant clothing worn by West Virginia’s First Ladies. Front cover of First Ladies dolls: Shelley Riley Moore, Cathy Justice and Alma Bennett Morgan. Photograph by Stephen Brightwell FirstFirst LadyLady CathyCathy JusticeJustice When I learned that I would have a First Lady Doll, I was beyond flattered. Seeing artist Ping Lau’s design for my doll impressed me even more! Along with being flattered, I’ll be honest, I was a little (or a lot) embar- rassed at the thought of a Cathy Justice Doll! Ms. Lau used an incredible amount of creativity on the hand-sculpted doll that I am proud to add to the collection of First Lady Dolls. I am so thankful that Ms. Lau chose to share her talent with the people of West Virginia and that she worked so closely with me, my staff, and the Department of Arts, Culture and History to complete the project. The time that she devoted to getting each detail just right…from my smile to my inaugural gown… demonstrates the dedication of a true artist.

  • 2020 Page Program Book
    WEST VIRGINIA LEGISLATURE PAGE PROGRAM 2020 Published by the Clerk of the Senate and the Clerk of the House of Delegates Since the inception of the Page Program in 1993, its intent has been to provide a learning experience for youth in the legislative process. Our goal is to present educational and historical information to students participating as Pages during the Regular Session of the Legislature. Among other things in the Page Program Book, students will find an explanation of the rules governing the actions of Senators and Delegates as they deliberate legislation on the Chamber Floors of both houses. There is a diagram which covers the basic overview of how a bill moves through the legislative process on its way to becoming law. Students will also find lists of current Senators and Delegates, an overview of the Standing Committees of the Senate and House of Delegates and instructions on proper etiquette when on the Senate or House Chamber Floors. Maps are included to help students find their way around the Capitol Building. It is our hope that students serving as Pages find this experience enjoyable, informative and useful in their educational pursuits and that they come away with a better understanding of the legislative process and an interest in effecting positive change in our state.
