The Annenberg Foundation has offered $2.5-million toward relocation costs for an elementary school near the site of the West Virginia coal-mine disaster, according to The Wall Street Journal.

Officials at Marsh Fork Elementary School and local leaders have raised health and environmental concerns about the school’s proximity to a Massey Energy Company coal-preparation plant. The school is located 300 feet from the plant and a few miles from the Massey mine where 29 workers died in a recent accident.
