We are excited to share that one of our amazing students, Bethany, will be representing BES (and Pendleton County) at the State Math Field Day tomorrow! 🤯
Staff and her classmates sent her off this afternoon with a card full of well wishes, and now we invite our entire BES community to do the same by sending your encouragement and support as she competes.
Good luck, Bethany! We know you’ll shine tomorrow and make BES proud!
❤️👏

Administration is aware of the recent arrest of classroom teacher Madison Day. The criminal charges, if true, are wholly unacceptable and contrary to every expected behavior of a school employee.
Day, as required by state school personnel law, was immediately removed from her teaching job and extracurricular contracts when school administration initiated an investigation.
Appropriate personnel action will continue to be taken regarding Days’ employment status, but please understand personnel laws at this time prevent administration from being specific as to what the next step is, as employees are entitled to due process. However, Day is not and will not be in any classroom. In the near future and after following appropriate due process steps, administration will be making recommendations regarding Days’ employment to the Pendleton County Board of Education.
The West Virginia Department of Education has also been notified and it is anticipated that the WVDE will also take appropriate steps, such as immediately suspending Days’ teaching license given the pending criminal action.
The school system will make no further comments given the pending criminal action.

Pendleton County Schools recently became aware of private social media messages exchanged between two individuals, one of whom served as a citizen coach (a non-full-time position) within our school system. In those messages, the coach repeatedly used racist and threatening language.
We were shocked and disturbed during our review of the messages. This language and behavior do not reflect the values or expectations of Pendleton County Schools. Our school system is committed to fostering an environment of respect, dignity, and inclusion for all students, families, and members of our community.
Because this conduct is unequivocally inconsistent with those values, the individual is no longer serving as a citizen coach within Pendleton County Schools. Immediate action was taken to end the individual’s services in that role.
We sincerely apologize to the family who was directly impacted by these messages. While the messages were communicated in the individual’s personal capacity using private social media or technology, they nonetheless cast an unwanted shadow on our school system given his former coaching role.
Pendleton County Schools also apologizes to our employees and community members who work every day to uphold the values of respect, dignity, and inclusion that define our schools.
