AI Summary
This bill modifies the funding provisions for the Mountaineer Challenge Academy, a special alternative education program designed for students at risk of not succeeding in traditional schooling. Specifically, it changes the tuition payment from a county board to the academy from 75% to 100% of the amount allotted per pupil under the school aid formula, with the Mountaineer Challenge Academy retaining the full amount. Additionally, it clarifies that 100% of available federal funding per student shall be retained by the academy, with none remaining in the county, ensuring that the academy receives the full financial support for each student it serves.
