AI Summary
This bill requires public elementary and secondary schools in West Virginia to make the Aitken Bible available in all fourth, eighth, and tenth-grade social studies classrooms, with the understanding that this requirement also extends to public charter schools, which are schools operating independently of the traditional school district structure but still publicly funded and accountable. The bill specifies that while private donations can be used to acquire the Aitken Bible for these classrooms, no public funds are permitted for this purpose, aiming to ensure the distribution is funded through voluntary contributions rather than taxpayer money.
