Bill > SB116

This bill, known as "Raylee's Law," amends existing West Virginia law concerning compulsory school attendance to add a new provision that prohibits a county school board from authorizing home instruction for a child if there is a pending investigation for child abuse or neglect against a parent, guardian, or the person instructing the child. This prohibition applies when the investigation is initiated by school personnel and is based on mandatory reporting requirements. The bill also outlines procedures for county superintendents to be notified of such reports, to request confirmation of the investigation's status from the Department of Human Services, and to authorize home instruction if the complaint is not substantiated within 14 days.
