FYI, Here is the story from West Virginia Public Radio:

The W.Va. Schools for the Deaf and Blind will remain in Romney

By Cecelia Mason

The West Virginia Board of Education had asked Superintendent Lynn Boyer to 
study the costs and benefits of keeping the West Virginia Schools for the 
Deaf and Blind in Romney versus moving them to another location. Boyer made 
a presentation to the Board yesterday and in a statement announced the Board 
voted this morning to keep the schools in Romney.

Boyer said the decision will allow the WVSDB and the community work together 
to make improvements to the Schools.

Boyer said her focus over the next few months will be on revisiting the 
comprehensive plan and identifying funding sources to improve the campus.

In September, board met at the WVSDB, toured the campus and met with 
citizens from the community who expressed avid support to keep the Schools 
there.
