Bill overview
This bill seeks to revise West Virginia’s school calendar system by shifting away from a requirement of 180 mandatory school days to a model based on instructional hours. It establishes minimum instructional time requirements per day and year for different grade levels, allowing counties to adjust their calendars to meet these standards. The bill also provides flexibility for counties to use alternative instructional methods and extend the school day to cover lost time due to closures, while outlining specific rules regarding cocurricular activities and potential waivers for noncompliance.
