Summary

The bill revises West Virginia's foundation allowance, giving each county a base grant and additional money tied to enrollment and local share growth for instructional improvement, technology, and teacher/leader induction. It also earmarks funds for dual‑credit, AP/IB students, the Third Grade Success Act, and a statewide grant to expand professional‑learning networks. Unused balances must be re‑appropriated by the governor to keep these programs funded.
