Allowing an LEA or public charter school to enroll, or refuse to enroll, a student who is unlawfully present in the United States

Summary

The bill lets West Virginia public schools and public charter schools refuse to enroll a student who is unlawfully present in the United States after all immigration appeals are exhausted. Schools must first verify citizenship, legal status, or a pending citizenship process, and may require tuition from students who cannot provide such documentation. An appeal to the state Department of Education is available within 21 days of a denial.
