West Virginia Supreme Court July 14, 1998, 25138, 25139 (Pendleton Citizens for Community Schools v. Marockie)

STARCHER, Justice:.

In the instant case, the Circuit Court of Kanawha County ruled that the closing of a high school in Circleville, in Pendleton County, violates both statutory law and our state constitutional right to education. We conclude that the circuit court erred in both conclusions. Consequently, we reverse the circuit’s court’s decision.
