Barbour County Schools working to keep its CNA program
PHILIPPI, (WBOY) — Despite previous recommendations to cut the Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) program within Barbour County Schools, the school district is making changes to keep it running.
Superintendent Eddie Vincent told 12 News Monday 'that recommendation will no longer be on the agenda.' That being said, Vincent said that there have been 'some issues with numbers in the program,' but Barbour County Schools plans to make changes so that it can maintain the program.
The CNA program is currently available at the Barbour County Technical Center, which is in the Philip Barbour High School complex in Philippi.

This comes as other tech centers in the region, including the one in Monongalia County, are addressing revenue concerns by proposing program cuts.
Back on April 17, Barbour County Schools said on social media that 'the future is bright for our CTE students and programs,' when it announced a project funded by the School Building Authority to expand its technical center and bring all of its programs under one roof. That post said that the school district plans to build a 6,000-square-foot addition on its Philip Barbour tech center building and modernize its shop spaces.
