Hearing on Religious Exemptions Scheduled in Kanawha County
A hearing on religious exemptions to school vaccination requirements is set for 10 a.m. Wednesday in Kanawha Circuit Court.
This hearing comes at an awkward time, as a circuit judge in Raleigh County has announced plans to certify a class of families with similar claims, which could cover over 570 families statewide.
A final written order on class certification is expected from Raleigh Circuit Judge Michael Froble in about a week, with a final overall order on the case to be produced by the end of November.
The lack of a final order on class certification currently puts cases like the one in Kanawha in a uncertain position, with judges in different jurisdictions handling similar cases.
