Requiring amount of reduction of state aid be appropriated in support of certain low-enrollment county school districts

Summary

The bill directs that any cut in state education funding from the prior fiscal year be transferred to the West Virginia Department of Education for use by the ten smallest county school districts that have a maximum excess levy and by extremely remote schools in districts with such a levy. Distribution is based on the number of kindergarten‑through‑fifth‑grade students, with a provision that a student may be counted twice in certain calculations. The measure aims to protect funding for the most vulnerable, low‑enrollment districts.
