Bill Summary

A BILL to amend and reenact §18-2-6 of the Code of West Virginia, 1931, as amended, providing that the state board shall promulgate rules providing for minimum requirements for graduation from the public schools of the state, which may include course credits, competency demonstrations, and/or assessments as the board determines necessary to ensure that graduates are prepared for postsecondary education or gainful employment.

AI Summary

This bill amends West Virginia law to require the state board to create rules for minimum graduation requirements for public schools, which can include course credits, demonstrating skills, or taking tests, all designed to ensure students are ready for college or jobs. The existing language about the state board's role in accrediting and standardizing schools and setting minimum standards for diplomas and certificates is being replaced with this new focus on graduation requirements.
