international concerns; therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Delegates:
That the state board of education be requested to include
geography as an elective in the new proposed high school social
studies curriculum; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Clerk of the West Virginia House
of Delegates forward a copy of this resolution to the State Board
