Bill overview
This bill proposes to increase the per-student funding allotment for students with Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) in rural West Virginia counties to a 3:1 ratio. The bill aims to provide additional resources to these counties, which often have lower student populations and higher needs for special education services. Specifically, it targets rural counties with fewer than 2,200 students and a significant number of students with IEPs. The increase is intended to support the educational needs of these students and the school systems serving them.
