SUMMARY: President Trump plans to dismantle the U.S. Department of Education, believing this will benefit students by returning education control to the states. However, in West Virginia, concerns arise over the loss of federally-funded programs, such as special education aid and reading interventionists. Civics teacher Colin Henki fears this could destabilize local education and drive teachers away due to uncertainty. While Trump promises to preserve essential programs like Pell grants and funding for special needs, West Virginia Governor Patrick Morsy supports the plan, arguing that state control could improve educational outcomes. West Virginia ranked 48th in education in 2024’s Kids Count Data Book.

SUMMARY: In a startling incident, Jeffrey Goldberg, editor-in-chief of the Atlantic, was accidentally included in a Signal group chat by U.S. National Security officials discussing impending military strikes in Yemen. The chat, started by National Security Adviser Mike Waltz, contained sensitive debates over the bombing of Houthi targets and intelligence assessments. As plans unfolded, Goldberg initially doubted authenticity but soon realized it was real when bombings began on March 15. Experts warn this blunder may violate the Espionage Act and pose national security risks. The White House acknowledged the incident and plans to investigate how Goldberg was included.

SUMMARY: Fire officials are urging safe burning practices amid high brush fire risks in Kanawha County. With dry and windy conditions, brush fires are more likely to spread. Since the start of spring fire season on March 1st, local fire departments and the West Virginia Division of Forestry have been busy handling fires, often caused by burning debris or accidental sparks. Officials recommend burning only between 5 p.m. and 7 a.m., and avoiding it on windy, dry days. Firefighters face challenges controlling brush fires, which require creating fire breaks. While fire risks will decrease as vegetation greens up, they remain high during the early spring.
