The annual
Western Virginia Public Education Consortium (WVPEC) was held on January 31 and February 1 at the Salem Civic Center. Seventeen school divisions from Bath to Wythe to Franklin County were represented at the job fair, with job seekers from Virginia colleges of education, career switchers, and applicants from as far away as Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Tennessee. BCHS principal Sarah Rowe & division administrator Paul Lancaster staffed the BCPS table Friday afternoon, and VES principal Crystal Coffman & superintendent Sue Hirsh worked the event Saturday morning.
