Bill overview
This bill proposes a two-year pilot program in West Virginia allowing individual counties to experiment with a four-day school week consisting of longer school days (10 hours instead of 8). The State Board of Education would oversee these pilot programs, focusing on improving student learning and considering potential benefits like reduced absenteeism and cost savings. The bill aims to give local school districts flexibility in structuring their calendars while ensuring adequate instructional time and teacher support.
