Former W.Va. School Board president Miller Hall resigns

CHARLESTON – Miller Hall, the former president of the West Virginia Board of Education, has resigned as a member of the board.

Gov. Jim Justice announced Hall’s resignation Monday during a virtual briefing with reporters from Charleston. Miller and his wife Joyce are moving to Pennsylvania to be closer to his grandchildren.

“(Hall) did an incredible job, that’s all there is to it,” Justice said. “We wish him the very, very best. Miller Hall will always be a great West Virginian and everything. At his age now, he wants to be closer to his grandkids. I don’t know how it gets any better than that.”

Justice appointed Miller to the state Board of Education in 2017 to fill an unexpired term. He was appointed for a full term in 2019. Hall’s term expired on Nov. 4, 2028. Hall was elected as president of the state board on July 8, 2020, and served until board member Paul Hardesty was elected president on July 13.
