AI Summary

This bill makes several changes to the Western Virginia Public Education Consortium, a group that helps coordinate educational programs and resources for school divisions in Western Virginia. Firstly, it modifies the reporting requirement so that the chair of the Consortium's board only needs to submit an annual executive summary to the Governor and General Assembly in years when the Consortium receives funding from the state legislature. Secondly, it adjusts the composition of the governing board to better reflect school division consolidations that have occurred since the Consortium was first established, and importantly, it adds all members of the House of Delegates and Senate of Virginia who represent districts that are partially or wholly within Western Virginia to the board as non-voting ex officio members. Lastly, it removes a previous duty of the board to develop connections with schools in Northern Virginia for educational technology purposes.
