Last week, Gov. Jim Justice signed two proclamations declaring two additional half-day state holidays on Thursday, Dec. 23 and Thursday, Dec. 30.
Dec. 23 is already a scheduled holiday for West Virginia University; however, Dec. 30 is not. The University, including WVU Research Corp., will combine the two additional half-day state holidays and observe them on Dec. 30.
The Public Employees Insurance Agency (PEIA) is holding annual public hearings during the month of November in multiple locations around the state. These hearings allow the public to learn more about PEIA’s proposed changes for Plan Year 2023 and to voice their concerns and comments. The Morgantown hearing is scheduled for 6 p.m. Wed., Nov. 17 at Erickson Alumni Center. Registration begins at 5 p.m.; you must register to attend. Masks and social distancing are recommended at the live hearings.
If you can't attend the hearing in person, please submit your comments to the PEIA Finance Board in writing to PEIAComments@wv.gov.
West Virginia University, including the WVU Research Corp., will close Friday, June 18, following a Presidential Proclamation and separate declaration issued by Gov. Jim Justice proclaiming a state holiday in recognition of Juneteenth.
Juneteenth, which is held on June 19 each year, celebrates the ending of slavery in the U.S. This year, June 19 falls on a Saturday. As a result, Friday, June 18, will be recognized as a full-day holiday for all public employees of the state.
