West Virginia Professional Charter School Board

The Professional Charter School Board (PCSB) was created by the West Virginia legislature in 2021 to serve as a statewide authorizer for public charter schools. PCSB members are appointed by the Governor with the advice and consent of the Senate. The PCSB is an independent body, separate from the West Virginia Department of Education. The board, and the charter schools it authorizes, are subject to the general supervision of the State Board of Education solely for the purposes of accountability for meeting the standards for student performance required of other public school students in West Virginia.
