Bill Summary
The purpose of this bill is to ensure that counties or their officers may not prevent crowd-funding, or other meaningful current methods for fundraising, from the available fundraising methods available to teachers.
AI Summary
This bill amends West Virginia law to ensure that county boards of education, their officers, or school administrators cannot prevent teachers from using crowd-sourcing or other modern fundraising methods to raise money for their schools. This change is being made to existing law that allows schools to use funds generated through fundraising or donations for student, parent, teacher, and community recognition programs, provided the activity is publicized and the funds are designated for that purpose. The bill specifically adds language to prevent any obstruction of these fundraising efforts by school officials.
