What this Raleigh County Board of Education guide covers
School calendar, approved calendar PDFs, holidays, and planning notes
The official Raleigh County Board of Education page links the 25-26 School Calendar updated 3/20/26 and the 2026-2027 Approved Calendar. The district News page also shows an adjusted 2025-2026 school calendar update, which is a sign that families should always use the most recent official calendar file rather than saving an old PDF forever.
Use the calendar page for first day of school, holidays, breaks, professional learning days, missed days, spring calendar changes, last day, and other school-year planning. Calendar PDFs are not decoration; they are the practical source families use for childcare, work schedules, doctor appointments, travel, custody planning, transportation, and after-school activities.
The district also has an Events page where users can view and download calendar items by year. This is useful for Board meeting events and district-level activities, but the approved school-year calendar PDF should still be checked for official student-day planning.
Do not treat one screenshot, social media graphic, or older downloaded PDF as permanent. Raleigh County calendar information can change because of missed days, remote learning, severe weather, public hearings, board approval, or state requirements.
📅 Correct school year
Match the school year before planning. A 2025-2026 calendar should not be used for 2026-2027 planning.
🔄 Updated calendar
The Board page links the 25-26 calendar updated 3/20/26, so revisions matter.
🗓️ Events page
Use the Events page for district events and downloadable calendar views by year.
⚠️ Recheck before travel
Weather and missed days can affect school schedules. Recheck before making final plans.
Board office address, main phone, fax, and visit planning
Raleigh County School District lists the main office at 105 Adair Street, Beckley, WV 25801. The official footer lists phone 304-256-4500 and fax 304-256-4739. The same address appears across the district website and on Board of Education materials.
Use the main office for district routing, central office questions, board meeting location confirmation, department contact direction, policies, public information, and general Raleigh County Schools questions. If your issue is about a specific student’s classroom, pickup, bus behavior, attendance, grades, discipline, or local school event, the individual school office may be the faster first stop.
The district’s official pages do not present one universal public walk-in hour for every department in the same way. That is important. Before visiting, call the central office or the department you need. Office access can change because of meetings, school calendar days, weather, summer schedule, staff availability, or security procedures.
✅ Contact central office for
District routing, Board meeting location, department direction, general district questions, and administrative help.
🏫 Contact the school for
Attendance notes, teacher communication, pickup, school events, student discipline, and daily campus questions.
🕒 Confirm before visiting
Call first because department availability and office access can vary.
📠 Fax listed
The district lists fax 304-256-4739 for the main office.
What the Raleigh County Board of Education does
The Raleigh County Board of Education is the public governing board for Raleigh County Schools. The Board page focuses on meetings, public access, calendar approvals, board documents, personnel recommendations, special meetings, self-appraisal, and board member information.
The Board recognizes the public’s right to attend and observe proceedings. Meetings are open to the public, but the board may hold executive sessions and exclude the public when a closed session is required for reasons allowed by West Virginia law. That distinction matters: a meeting can be public while some legally protected topics are discussed privately.
The Board also welcomes input and participation from the public, but the official page encourages citizens to work with the administration to try to resolve problems or differences. That means many individual concerns should start with a teacher, principal, department, superintendent’s office, or central office before being brought to the Board.
📌 Public governance
The Board handles district-level governance, public meetings, calendar action, and board documents.
👥 Public access
The public may attend and observe meetings, subject to lawful executive-session rules.
🎙️ Public input
Citizens can address the Board by following the official agenda or meeting registration process.
🧩 Problem solving
The district encourages working with administration to resolve issues before escalating to the Board.
Board meetings, live video, agendas, documents, and public comment rules
The Raleigh County Board of Education page says meetings are scheduled on the second and fourth Tuesday of each month at 5:30 p.m. in the Munson Hall conference room at the board’s administrative offices, 105 Adair Street, Beckley, WV.
The page includes Board Meeting document sections by school year, including personnel recommendations, regular meetings, and special meetings. It also includes a link to watch Board meetings live online. If you want agendas, minutes, personnel recommendation files, special meeting files, or current meeting documents, use the official Board page and Board Meetings document folders.
For public comment, the Board page says persons who desire to address the Board must arrange with the superintendent to do so. Citizens should call the superintendent’s office two weeks in advance of a regular meeting to secure a place on the written agenda. Citizens may also register to address the Board beginning 30 minutes prior to each regular meeting. Citizens addressing the Board at a regular meeting are allocated five minutes per speaker.
Open the official Board page
Confirm meeting date, time, location, calendar links, live video, and document folders.
Check meeting type
Look for regular meetings, special meetings, personnel recommendations, and current school-year files.
Plan public comment early
Call the superintendent’s office two weeks in advance for written agenda placement, or register 30 minutes before a regular meeting.
Prepare five-minute remarks
Regular meeting speakers are allocated five minutes per speaker, so prepare a focused statement.
Meeting reminder: Use the current Board page before attending. Weather, emergency closures, special meetings, or document updates can affect meeting details.
Missed days, inclement weather, delays, and remote learning cautions
Raleigh County Schools links delay information, missed days resources, and official calendar updates from the district website. This matters in West Virginia because weather, road conditions, and remote learning decisions can affect transportation, meal planning, childcare, work schedules, and Board meetings.
When a storm, flood risk, power issue, extreme cold, or road condition affects school, do not rely only on old calendar dates. Check the official district site, delays link, school announcements, app alerts, and current news. Calendar updates may show adjusted school-year dates after missed days.
🌧️ Weather can change plans
Check official delay and school closure information before sending students to bus stops.
📅 Calendar updates matter
The 25-26 calendar was updated, so families should watch for revised PDFs.
🚌 Transportation impact

For families new to Raleigh County, the About Us page says to contact the district directly for current attendance area information. That is the right warning. Do not guess school assignment from a town name, postal address, real estate listing, or old boundary. Attendance areas can be specific, and the district or school office should confirm current placement.

The page lists the Transportation address as 151-B Cranston Drive, Beckley, WV 25801. The Central Office Staff Directory lists Transportation phone 304-256-4560 and fax 304-256-4744.

Family resources, mental health support, cyberbullying, and parent notices
The Family Resources page links tools and support for families. It says ParentGuidance.org is a 24/7 online platform to help families, educators, and caregivers assist students with mental health needs. It describes tools such as one-on-one coaching, on-demand parenting sessions, and online courses.
The same page includes a “Report Cyberbullying” contact and lists the Director of Pupil Services contact information. It also links annual notices to parents and eligible students, including rights concerning educational records and PPRA notices. Families should use the official page for current documents because legal notices can change by school year.

Attendance excuse form, home school links, McKinney-Vento, and student support
The Raleigh County Schools home page links an Attendance Excuse Form, Attendance resources, Home School resources, and a McKinney-Vento Act flyer. These links matter because attendance documentation, excused absence rules, homelessness support, and home school procedures should be handled through official district forms and guidance.
If your child is absent, do not assume a phone call, text, or verbal message is enough. Use the official attendance process and check with the school office if you are unsure what documentation is required. For home school, McKinney-Vento, English Language Learners, or special programs, use the official department links so the request is routed correctly.
📝 Attendance excuse

That means records and transcript questions should start from the official district website rather than from random third-party “records” pages.
For current students, contact the school office or counselor when appropriate. For former students, use the official transcript request link provided by Raleigh County Schools. For student privacy, custody, health, special education, or educational records, avoid sending documents to unofficial email addresses or forms.

Parents and guardians can create an account, add each child’s name, view items available for purchase at each child’s school, receive automated notifications when items become available, and view charge/payment history. Because payment links can attract scams, always access SchoolCash from the official Raleigh County Schools link, not from a random search result.

The official home page links Job Postings, and the Transportation page highlights hiring for substitute bus operators and mechanics. The About Us page says Raleigh County Schools has approximately 1,500 employees and is Raleigh County’s largest employer.
If you want to apply for a teaching, classified, transportation, maintenance, nutrition, substitute, or administrative job, use the official job postings and Human Resources pages.
