ELKINS, (WBOY) — After dozens of hearings and nearly a month of waiting, a vote to eliminate positions with the Randolph County Board of Education was held Tuesday, with the board voting to terminate 33 positions across the county. Of the 42 staff members up for termination Tuesday night, the board voted to terminate the following after the 2024–25 school year.

In total, three positions were removed from the list of potential transfers, and two were removed from the list of potential terminations.

No Title I teachers—federally funded teachers who help disadvantaged kids—who were on the list to be transferred were actually transferred. None were on the list for terminations, either; therefore none were fired. Tuesday night's vote comes after months of administrative turmoil in Randolph County, as the board and Superintendent Shawn Dilly aim to balance the county's budget, which Dilly previously told 12 News would require the elimination of 32 positions. He also previously said that April 22 would be the absolute latest the board could vote as it awaited word on funding that it could use to reduce terminations and transfers. Despite the votes, Dilly has previously said this Reduction in Force (RIF) is only a temporary solution and that school consolidation talks could be back on the table as early as May. The county attempted to consolidate Harman and Pickens schools earlier in the year, but the motion for one was voted down and the other was withdrawn. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
